Trivia / Birdman of Alcatraz

• Production Posse:
  • This was the second of five movies John Frankenheimer made with Burt Lancaster.
  • Also, Karl Malden appeared in All Fall Down, and Whit Bissell, Hugh Marlowe and Edmond O'Brien all appeared in Seven Days in May.
• Wag the Director: During shooting a difference of opinion arose between Burt Lancaster and John Frankenheimer about camera placement. Lancaster physically picked the director up and carried him across the room, placing him down and emphatically stating, "That's where the camera goes!"
