Escape From Alcatraz and Shawshank

I've been reading The Shawshank Redemption. It's wonderful. A few weeks ago TCM ran Escape From Alcatraz. I DVR's it... and forgot about it. Today in an attempt to clean up my DVR, I decided to watch the Eastwood film.

.

Of course, it reminds me a lot of Shawshank and The Green Mile. Mostly it's just the mood of the film. Escape doesn't have the same energy that Shawhank Redemption has; nor does it have characters you would ever want to meet.

.

1. It's an escape from prison film.

2. There's a mouse.

3. Hiding stuff in the Bible.

4. There's a man who can get you things.

5. The method of dirt removal. (Sprinkeling it when out for a walk)

6. Posters are important in both.

I know there's more, so post them for me.

Having been to Alcatraz, I can say that it is the only prison I've ever paid to get into. Yes, I have been to others... but those were freebe visits. Funny story: I go to visit this guy in a medium security prison. I tell the clerk who I want to see and that I have an appointment. She sends me to a guard at the door. he has me sign in, and then says, "It's the fifth door on the right." I just stared at him. You mean you don't escort me there? I'm just free to walk through the prison and find door 5 on my own? I've got to tell you, I've never counted doors so carefully!
