Full Confession is an RKO B film starring Barry Fitzgerald, Victor McLaglen, and Joseph Calleia.
Pat Sullivan (McLaglen) commits a murder, but another man, Michael O'Keefe (Fitzgerald) is accused of it.
Pat goes to prison for robbery and eventually is released. When he becomes ill and believes he's about to die, he confesses to Father Loma (Calleia).
When he doesn't die, the priest, close to the O'Keefe family as well as Pat, begs him to admit his crime. Because of the seal of confession, the priest himself can't turn him in.
Pat refuses; he has no intention of returning to prison and he wants to marry the woman who stood by him (Sally Eilers).
Good movie especially if you're a Catholic and religious. Its message is powerful no matter what you believe.
The film, directed by John Farrow, looks Expressionist.
Very well done.
