Frank Morris may have had an IQ of 135, but he didn't show much for it. He was in Alcatraz because he had robbed a Lousiana bank of all its small change and he was still carrying it around when they caught up with him. The film also misrepresents the Warden of Alcatraz at the time, Olin Blackwell, who was hardly the sadist portrayed by Patrick McGoohan. Did they escape? I doubt it....This film adds to the sentimental fiction about the neverending conjecture about the whereabouts of this trio.
