House of Numbers is a 1957 American film noir, based on author Jack Finney's 1957 novel of the same name, starring Jack Palance and Barbara Lang.[2][3]

In the film, Palance plays two similar-looking brothers: Bill and his younger brother Arnie Judlow.[4] Bill is a good citizen, trying to help his ex-professional boxer brother, Arnie, convicted of murder, escape from San Quentin State Prison to return to Arnie's wife, Ruth, played by Lang.[5]

The movie was filmed on location at San Quentin and set in San Quentin and Mill Valley, California, then the home city of author Finney.[6]
