Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Birdman of Alcatraz is a 1962 film directed by John Frankenheimer and starring Burt Lancaster in the title role, with Karl Malden, Thelma Ritter, Neville Brand, and Edmond O'Brien in supporting roles.It is a fictionalized version of the life of Robert Stroud, a federal prison inmate and convicted murderer known as the "Birdman of Alcatraz" because of his life with birds. In spite of the title, much of the action is set at Leavenworth prison, where Stroud was jailed with his birds; when moved to Alcatraz he was not allowed to keep any pets. | |

| Birdman of Alcatraz / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Stroud is finally taken off "the Rock", and is determined to take what enjoyment he can from life, but remains incarcerated at the end of the film. (He died a year after its release, still in custody.) | |

Artistic License – History | |
| Birdman of Alcatraz / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: Stroud's original crime was actually shooting dead a man who'd refused to pay his girlfriend (whom he acted as pimp for) and then beating her up, not in revenge over her rape. While first in prison, he became notorious as one of the most violent inmates, getting six months more on three assaults. He killed a guard for denying Stroud a visit with his brother, not his mother (Stroud hadn't seen him in eight years). | |

The Alcatraz: Literal example. Stroud is eventually transferred there, a much more restrictive prison. | |
