Original United Artists One Sheet Poster (27x41) for the John Frankenheimer classic prison drama, BIRDMAN OF ALCATRAZ (1962) starring Burt Lancaster, Karl Malden, Thelma Ritter, and Telly Savalas. This film is based on a fictionalized version of the life of Robert Stroud, a convicted murderer who at one point had over 400 birds in his cell. Burt Lancaster gives one of the more memorable performances of his career; indeed, the entire cast is first- rate. Not only was Lancaster nominated for Best Actor, Savalas and Ritter were also nominated for Best Supporting Actor/Actress. Stroud was still in prison when the film was released. He never saw the film, nor did the film result in his release. Originally folded, this one sheet poster is in near mint condition.
