So I watched "Birdman Of Alcatraz" last night with my father. A few things....Burt Lancaster: great. Directed by John Frankenheimer: cool. Telly Savalas: sweet.
My issue? The movie is 143 minutes long, no problem there. However, in that 2hrs 23min. I think Lancaster spends 20-30 min total on Alcatraz at the end of the movie and when he's there, he's not allowed to keep any birds!!! He has all his birds at Leavenworth which is where the rest of the running time is spent. Blatant false advertising. I really don't understand why it was called that. Even though the movie was really good, this fact bothers me like an itch inside a cast on a broken arm.
