Alcatraz

 

 (tmdb)

ALCATRAZ BREAKOUT-1975-Grant (Gary Boyd), a bank robber whose sentence has been increased several times because of several failed escape attempts is sent to "The Rock". He becomes friends with an inmate named Frazier (Ray Myles) and plans an escape. He almost succeeds but is somehow caught and brought back. After 90 days in solitary his wife comes to visit him (the actress who plays her seems comatose; I believe it was the director's wife). Later he tries again to escape and that fails. He tries one more time and fails forever. 

This was directed by Nick Millard (CRIMINALLY INSANE 1 & 2, DOCTOR BLOODBATH (1987)) using the pseudonym, Jan Anders. A tedious mess despite the under an hour running time.

Thanks for reading!
