  • In this film based on a true story, Burt Lancaster plays Robert Stroud, a withdrawn prison inmate who cures a sick bird that flies into his cell and eventually becomes a world-renowned ornithologist -- all while serving a life sentence. An overbearing warden (Karl Malden) eventually transfers Stroud to the notoriously brutal prison on Alcatraz, but he is able to continue his research, abort a riot, start a romance, and eventually get his story out through a determined reporter (Edmond O'Brien). Directed with his usual solid craftsmanship by John Frankenheimer, Birdman Of Alcatraz tells a quietly moving tale for which Lancaster, Telly Savalas (as one of Stroud's fellow inmates), and Thelma Ritter (as Stroud's mother) all received Oscar nominations. Don Kaye, Rovi

5 out of 5 stars review

A sad but true account of a man who spent virtually all of his life in prison. From the time he was about 19 until his death. He tamed wild birds while in prison and found medications to heal them when sick. Though he was rehabilitated he was never put on parole due to a prison authority that had a personal hatred for him. We are thankful to be able to add this biography to our DVD library.
