Birdman of Alcatraz (1962)

After killing a prison guard, convict Robert Stroud faces life imprisonment in solitary confinement. Driven nearly mad by loneliness and despair, Stroud's life gains new meaning when he happens upon a helpless baby sparrow in the exercise yard and nurses it back to health. Despite having only a third grade education, Stroud goes on to become a renowned ornithologist and achieves a greater sense of freedom and purpose behind bars than most people find in the outside world.

A film which is a tribute to the persistence of the human spirit

88/100. This is such a fascinating film, and Burt Lancaster's bravura performance makes the film. It is always interesting and the subject matter was handled with creativity and style. The screenplay is very strong, the supporting cast is quite good. Karl Malden, Neville Brand, Betty Field, Telly Savalas and Edmond O'Brien all give memorable performances. Thelma Ritter however rises above them all and is just amazing. John Frankenheimer's intense direction is remarkable.

This Is how a movie on alcatraz should be filmed. even though it black and white, filmed beyond my years. Its like marinated meat older the better. He's the bird man a ruthless murderer who kills those who cross him, and end up confined in the worst place of the prison the hole. For years he's never seen much light and when given the previlage, the only thing he could see was the sky. until one day a bird falls from a tree. He sneaks it in and desides They'd become cell mates. Soon after learning 1/2 A dozen languages and reading thousand of books on Birds he became a famous Bird healer. and was rewarded all the birds he'd like. until things went wrong and he clashed with the wardon and guards, in a second everything he prided himself on was gone. this movie is fascinating. And so is the bird man some claim he was a cold manipulative killer others say he had the heart of gold and killed for passion and pain. you deside.

Not a bad movie despite its terribly horrendous inaccuracies.
