This week on the OETA Movie Club Podcast we discuss TWO films! It's a double feature with The Great Escape (1963) and Birdman of Alcatraz (1962). First, in The Great Escape, imprisoned during World War II in a German POW camp, a group of Allied soldiers are intent on breaking out, not only to escape, but also to draw Nazi forces away from battle to search for fugitives. After, in Birdman of Alcatraz, sentenced to life in solitary confinement after killing a prison guard, despondent inmate Robert Stroud (Burt Lancaster) combats loneliness and tedium by nursing an ailing bird back to health.
