BLACK TUESDAY is a US crime drama, from 1954, in which two criminals escape from Death Row moments before their execution.

violence
A criminal loses control and repeatedly slaps a man, knocking him unconscious. A man outnumbered by police chooses to shoot it out with them and is killed off-screen. People are shot and beaten, but detailed is limited.
threat and horror
There are prolonged scenes leading up to a judicial execution, and which involve preparing a prisoner for the electric chair. There are several scenes of gun threat. A young woman is kidnapped by a gang of criminals.

Injured characters' clothes are mildly bloodstained, and people cry for the loss of loved ones. There are several scenes in which adults smoke cigarettes, and which reflect the time period in which the film was made. There is also infrequent very mild bad language ('jerk').
