Escape From Alcatraz (1979)

This was an interesting little film by Clint Eastwood. He played Frank Morris who was the mastermind behind a jail break from the notorious prison known as Alcatraz. Although the movie was slow at times, it gave the feeling of how monotonous it would actually be to take the time to tunnel out of a jail cell. 2.5 stars for me. I don't know if you remember him but Claude Newby, a chaplain in Ogden, was a guard at Alcatraz at one time, and he told me that he knew the notorious Bird Man.
