I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

There is little that I could add to the other reviews and, if you read them, most will attest to the power of "I Want to Live". This is a jarring, harrowing film from the acting to the jazz score. It is brutally honest in its sordid and ugly depictions of the seedier side of American life - the lowlifes, junkies, "goodtime girls", small-time crims and even a family man taking a walk on the wild side in the opening scene. The preparations and procedures related to capital punishment are even more chillingly depicted than those of "In Cold Blood". The camera angles and the jazz score add to the uncomfortable and off-kilter events of this other world that most of us know about and sometimes visit but do not inhabit. Lastly, Susan Hayward's performance is shattering. "I Want to Live" is a once seen never forgotten experience.

After watching "The Green Mile", "Monsters Ball", and "Dead Man Walking" I was pretty much convinced that Capital Punishment is beyond evolved societies. This film supported my belief only during the final moments that illustrated very precisely how to prepare a gas chamber for a death sentence. Fascinating, but looks like a decent way to go vs Chemo/Radiation for years.I am not a fan of Hayward and her histrionic performance did not lend well to portraying an innocent woman. The incessant cacophony of avant garde jazz only distracted from the capture of a fallen woman who went way astray in life. I know there are innocents in prison, on death row, etc., but this one-sided operation annoyed me more than instigate sympathy.I cannot recommend this film due to the poor performance of Hayward who supposedly was not a heroin addict but surely acted like one. Too many elements of the film were incongruous. With the strong emphasis on how this is based on actual facts, letters, discussions by a newspaper sensationalist headliner only debased the content vs enhance.If you are on the fence about the Death Penaly watch the three films aforementioned.

almost a documentary. cruel, touching, vodka glass. a woman. a justice system. and a verdict - instruments as sleep medicine for consciousness. axis - a great performance of an amazing actress. Susan Hayward does more than a good character. she is Barbara Graham. her look, her nuances of words and gestures are ladder to the heart of case. because, measure is basic value of film. not poetry, not heavy shadows. only a story about a form of guilty out of definitions. a picture from old newspapers and a kind of Don Quijote in a special form. the film is not about innocence or errors. only about life as a collection of hopes. about a war against injustice as respect for law and testimony about presence of a silhouette. details, lights, images. all as pieces of a puzzle. and borders of an ash circle.

When are people who commit murder the true victims, rather than the murdered person lying face down in the street? Answer: When you're watching a Fodder for Liberal Empty-Heads movie from Hollywood 1958 -- a time when the sacred-liberal-cause-of-the-day was the way "society" intrudes on criminals and fails to empathize with their lifestyle.I Want to Live was a particularly obnoxious liberal rant whereby we are supposed to shed crocodile tears for poor Susan Hayward, a person convicted -- with others -- in the robbery/murder of two men. Trapped like a rat in her prison cell, Miss Hayward has ample opportunity to rant and rave in allegedly Academy Award level acting. Gag me, please.There is no mention of -- nor compassion for -- the two dead victims. Heavens, no. According to this movie Hayward is the only victim, and her immoral lawyers will play any trick to help her avoid -- also breaking their arms with self-congratulatory back-pats.Liberals did a lot of damage to society in that era, with propaganda films that undermined justice and kept criminals in circulation. And they're darn proud of it.
