Escape from Alcatraz was the final collaboration between Clint Eastwood and director Don Siegel, who had previously worked together on Coogan's Bluff, Two Mules for Sister Sara, The Beguiled, and their most famous collaboration, the first Dirty Harry movie. Siegel first gained notoriety for having directed the sci-fi horror classic Invasion of the Body Snatchers in 1956, while Eastwood's first screen appearances were the 1955 horror films Tarantula! and Revenge of the Creature, the sequel to Creature from the Black Lagoon. Siegel passed away on April 20th, 1991 at age 78 from cancer in Nipomo, California.

Alcatraz Island was closed because a 1959 report indicated that the facility was over three times more expensive to run than the average American prison. The problem was made worse by the buildings' structural deterioration from exposure to salt spray, which would require $5 million to fix. Major repairs began in 1958, but by 1961 engineers considered the prison a lost cause. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy submitted plans for a new maximum-security institution at Marion, Illinois. Frank Morris' June 1962 escape from Alcatraz led to investigations which, combined with the major structural problems and expensive operation, led to its closure on March 21, 1963.

Circumstantial evidence uncovered in the early-2010s seemed to suggest that Frank Morris and the Anglin brothers had survived, and that contrary to the official FBI report of the escapee's raft never being recovered and no car thefts being reported, a raft was discovered on nearby Angel Island with footprints leading away, and a 1955 blue Chevrolet had been stolen on the night of the escape by three men, who could have been Morris and the Anglins.

Frank Morris was born in Washington, D.C. on September 1st, 1926. Orphaned at age 11, he spent the rest of his childhood in foster homes. He was convicted of his first criminal offense at 13, and by his late teens had been arrested for crimes ranging from narcotics possession to armed robbery. He spent most of his early years in jail serving lunch to prisoners. Later, he was arrested for grand larceny in Miami Beach, car theft, and armed robbery. Morris reportedly ranked in the top 2% of the general population in intelligence, as measured by IQ testing (he had an IQ of 133). He served time in Florida and Georgia, then escaped from the Louisiana State Penitentiary while serving 10 years for bank robbery. He was recaptured a year later while committing a burglary and sent to Alcatraz on January 20, 1960, as inmate number AZ1441.

My grandfather was a Deputy US Marshal. Served a lot of warrants, arrested a lot of people, transported a lot of people to and between prisons. And one thing he told me is that you NEVER lock criminal partners and/or close relatives up together. If two guys commit a crime together, you send them to different prisons, just to avoid them doing what the Anglin brothers did here. But I know this is a true story, so I suppose that regulation wasn't passed until after the time this movie is set. My grandfather didn't begin his career until the mid 1960s, so it makes sense. Point being, at least over the past 60 years, brothers would never be locked up in the same prison together. And it's weird to think that there was a time in history when two brothers would have been imprisoned together.

Hi Madison, another story goes there was a deathbed confession by a man who said himself and some acomplices picked up Morris and the Anglin brothers in a newly painted boat in the dark in San Francisco bay the night of the escape. An off duty San Francisco police officer verified that while sitting in his car at the San Francisco marina at night said that he noticed a pristine white boat without lights on, the night of the escape, was floating in the bay between the marina and Alcatraz. This off duty officer told federal investigators that someone on the boat had a flash light on, and was pointing at the water behind the boat. Then the off duty officer said the port and starboard boat lights suddenly came on, and then the boat just sailed away into the dark. The man dying claimed that Morris and the Anglins were boated all the way up to the Seattle area where he then said him and his accomplices murdered the escapees and buried their bodies near a highway in the Seattle area. Federal investigators checked the supposed area where the bodies were buried, but no body was ever found. Isn't it funny that even though we know the escape took place, the tension in the movie is still palpable. Thanks Madison for your reaction to this great movie.
