ISBN: 9780713461152.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrison has long fascinated film makers and audiences alike. The author explores the dark enclosed world of prisons on film from light-hearted comedies to the deeper implications of people imprisoned for their political and religious beliefs. The book covers the whole spectrum of prison life - gangster movies such as \"Riot in Cell Block Eleven\"; the particular fascination of Alcatraz, including the memorable \"Birdman of Alcatraz\"; prisoners of war featured in \"The Great Escape\" and \"The Colditz Story\"; the complex psychological themes of prisoners of conscience in \"Kiss of the Spiderwoman\"; women in \"Yield to the Night\"; and the ultimate sanction of society against its transgressors, the death penalty in \"I Want to Live\". While many of the films are simple adventure stories using prison as a backdrop, others consider the social issues sensitively. Occasionally a movie has stirred a nation to change its way of thinking about its wrong-doers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Brand: B T Batsford Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44986753056821,"sku":"ByrdShop_0713461152","price":226.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780713461152_7a75e0ca-8411-4a50-88c2-7ed761eafc98.jpg?v=1778698824","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/captured-on-film-the-prison-movie-9780713461152","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
