Atmospheric commercial.
Sorsimus1 July 2002
This is a promo short for Boorman's point Blank, yet it is only revealed towards the end of the film. The beginning is an unusually gloomy and atmospheric look at the world's most famous prison. It boasts very "European" camerawork that really works, too.

Even towards the end of the piece where the commercial angle of the film is revealed, the audience gets a treat in the form of an Angie Dickinson monologue where she wanders around the obsolete prison narrating her walk beautifully. Well worth seeing!

review of the rock 1967
unkadunk08011 October 2016
I must take issue with the reviewer who calls himself Edgar Allen Pooh from the gutters of Baltimore about Alcatraz being a ''country club''it wasn't that at all it was the place where prison authorities sent their toughest criminals to because this way they were all together in one place,And it was situated off San Francisco on an island that was buffeted by high winds and fierce tides that made it very unpleasant to live on.And I've been there (as a tourist) and it wasn't a pleasant experience at all to enter one of the darkened cells and stay there for just a little while because it was a very scary few minutes.And I advise him to google Alcatraz and see just what it was like to be there And Im sure hell realize just how bad a place that Alcatraz was
