“BIRDMAN OF ALCATRAZ,” director John Frankenheimer’s biographical drama, stars Burt Lancaster as Robert Stroud who, as the film begins, is incarcerated at Leavenworth Prison for murder, a sentence that will eventually lead him to Alcatraz. Seeing his days stretch out to life without parole for the murder of a prison guard, Stroud passes his days in solitary confinement caring for a baby sparrow, an act which eventually blossoms into caring for an array of birds sent as gifts to fellow inmates
