With an Oscar-nominated Telly Savalas as a fellow con and brutish Neville Brand as his guard. 35mm. Approx. 147 min. “Striking performance by Lancaster… a likeable film, particularly in its observation of the evolving relationship between the anti-social prisoner and the hostile warder (Brand, excellent).” – Tom Milne, Time Out “Birdman of Alcatraz is not really a prison picture in the traditional and accepted sense of the term. Birdman reverses the formula and brings a new breadth and depth to the form. In telling, with reasonable objectivity but understandably deep compassion the true story of Robert Stroud, it achieves a human dimension way beyond its predecessors.” – Variety
