Review of Birdman of Alcatraz (1962) by Justin R — 11 Feb 2011
A very good biographical prison film with a triumphant performance from Burt Lancaster in the title role, but the film should have been titled "Birdman of Leavenworth" since that is where he kept his birds and studied their diseases.
One of the best prison movies of all time. A powerful look at prison life, A classic.
