Birdman of Alcatraz (1962) John Frankenheimer, Charles Crichton, Burt Lancaster, Karl Malden, Thelma Ritter, Biography, Drama

rarefilm — Sat, 09 Dec 2017 21:51:29 +0000

As an inmate at Leavenworth prison, Robert Stroud has a series of confrontations with the guards and with the other convicts. When Stroud kills a guard, he is sentenced to be executed, and only his mother’s impassioned intervention gets his sentence commuted to life imprisonment, which he must serve in solitary confinement. As he serves out his sentence in boredom and despair, one day he finds a helpless baby sparrow in the exercise yard. Stroud soon takes a deep interest in caring for birds, which gives him a new purpose in life, but which also brings new conflicts with prison authorities.

Always like Burt Lancaster’s acting/entertainment ability, and he doesn’t disappoint in “Birdman”. I found this movie, whatever it’s historical faults notwithstanding, to be an uplifting experience due to the characters ability to rise above the incredibly depressing circumstances of his existence. And, a sad commentary on societies inability to rehabilitate as in “To restore to good health or useful life, as through therapy and education.”, those who stray from the straight and narrow. When men are treated with respect, or as animals, they usually respond in kind. Karl Malden’s warden character summarized societies treatment of inmates. Whether using carrots or sticks, the end goal was conformity and submission, with true rehabilitation an incidental byproduct should it occur at all. There is little wasted footage in this film, the “quiet” periods mentioned in earlier comments, add to the realism. Think about it, here’s a man who spent nearly 50 years of his life in solitary confinement, to do true justice, a silent film would have been more appropriate! Stroud was spared the death penalty by President Wilson, due to his mothers pleading on his behalf. I can’t imagine the occupier of the White House today doing anything but smirk at such a request. Not a political statement, just a point of fact. Another point, this film was made while Stroud was still in prison, which he never viewed, and which failed to earn him his release before his death in 1963. Lancaster also played a convict in “Brute Force”, one of his earliest films, and a good one.

IMDB – Nominated for 4 Oscars
