I Want to Live!

Susan Hayward gives a tour de force performance in this loosely biographical film about the life of habitual criminal Barbara “Bloody Babs” Graham. Expertly directed by Robert Wise (West Side Story, Sound of Music), the film traces the trajectory of her life as a petty criminal to a convicted murderer on death row in San Quentin. I WANT TO LIVE! satisfyingly walks the genre line of stylish film noir and provocative exploitation. Boasting six Academy Awards — including a well-earned Best Actress statuette for Hayward.
