A few albums back, Jay-Z flowed, "I'm living proof that crime do pay/Say hooray to the bad guy." Behold Film Forum's old-school ode to the bad guy (and gal), which spotlights a criminal lineup: a pair of nonconforming Pauls on the chain gang (Muni in the remarkable, muckraking I Am A Fugitive From A Chain Gang and Newman in Cool Hand Luke); moll-of-molls Barbara Stanwyck (women-in-prison progenitor Ladies They Talk About); and psycho killer James Cagney, whose qu'est-ce que c'est happens to be Oedipal (White Heat, mischievously scheduled for Mother's Day). There's also Don Siegel's two-for-one jailbird special, Escape from Alcatraz and Riot in Cell Block 11, the latter shot on location at the famed Folsom Prison.
