Query: Birdman of Alcatraz

Obviously, in the hands of Hollywood the story of Robert Stroud, is going to be simplified and sugar-coated in order to make an entertaining and palatable movie for the general movie goer. Whatever the truth is about Robert Stroud, it is an interesting story, and in and of itself, the movie version is quite good. Bert Lancaster is a superb actor, and this is very evident in his role as Robert Stroud. Although I do have some reservations about how the truth was distorted for this movie, it is enjoyable and entertaining, and very much worth seeing.
