Shown here is a 55" x 77" two-piece Italian four-sheet poster made to promote the 1962 John Frankenheimer and Charles Crighton film Birdman of Alcatraz based on a book by Thomas E. Gaddis, a screenplay by Guy Trosper and starring Burt Lancaster as Robert Franklin Stroud, the birdman. Plot summary: The year is 1912. Robert Stroud is a convicted murderer in Leavenworth prison who murders a guard and is sentenced to be hung. President Woodrow Wilson's clemency saves his life, but he is placed in permanent solitary confinement by Warden Harvey Shoemaker [Karl Malden]. It is after these events that Stroud's legendary career as the prison birdman begins; he finds a fallen sparrow in the prison yard and decides to raise it.
