June 22 1979 

ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ opens. Written by Richard Tuggle, from the  1963 novel by J.Campbell Bruce, and directed by Don Siegel. Lean, deliberately paced, quietly compelling account of the 1962 escape of three inmates from San Francisco's notorious Alcatraz prison. A meditative Clint Eastwod excells as the trio's resourceful ringleader. With Patrick McGoohan, Fred Ward and Jack Thibeau.
