Frankenheimer's compelling, if slightly fictionalized biopic of Robert Stroud is extremely wel acted by Burt Lancaster and the rest of the cast, including Thelma Ritter and Telly Savalas.

Absorbing biopic.

Lancaster is wonderful; a tribute to the human spirit.

An exhaustive abstraction of the John Frankenheimer social outcast
July 16, 2007
This preachy bio pic is a hokey take on the birdman with Lancaster being misused on every occasion.
June 18, 2001
Lancaster's brilliant performance anchors Frankenheimer's fine film, a liberal-minded, optimistic celebration of the power of redemption.

Even with its limping screenplay and general drift toward competence rather than excellence, Birdman does pull us well enough into its fistful of compelling characters.
February 12, 2007
Prison biopic that's more interested in its liberal message about prison reform working for redemption than in anything else.
