Outside the Wall is a 1950 film noir crime film directed by Crane Wilbur starring Richard Basehart, Marilyn Maxwell, Signe Hasso and Dorothy Hart.
Ex-convict Larry Nelson (Basehart), paroled from prison after serving nearly half of his thirty-year sentence, has problems finding employment. Determined to not fall into the clutches of the law again, he takes a job as a lab assistant in a country sanitarium. There he falls for attractive nurse Charlotte (Maxwell). Larry learns that the sanitarium is a front for a robbery syndicate and finally finds himself a clay pigeon for the gang. Sweet-and-wholesome nurse Ann (Hart) helps Larry to get out of the unpleasant situation.
