So I dont normally watch older movies but this started last night whilst I was doing something and I left it on and planned to switch it off, I really got into it and have to say it was a fantastic movie, I have now spent the last hour reading up on the escape and the aftermath
So what is everyone's opinion on here did they make it out alive or as the Warden said did they drown.
IMO there is no way they wouldn't have found at least 1 of the 3 bodies, the items they found like the pictures I think they left to be found to make it seem like they had drowned but I think they made it and enjoyed the rest of their lives and who knows maybe are still around today

What do you consider an 'old movie'?
I know someone who wont watch either a black and white film or those with subs.
a bit like Hitler and Argentina.
I watched 12 Angry Men again yesterday. I'd recommend that to you. Its black and white, but stick with it.
So that points towards them having made it.
The BBC aired a lot Ealing Studio stuff last year, was an absolute delight.
On the Alcatraz tour, the guides all say they believe the three perished at sea. The main reason I think that's probably true is that, by now, someone would have blabbed. To keep that secret for life would have been impossible, and now that they are probably dead, you'd think there's be someone able to confirm it.
Still, there are bits and bobs that imply they made it (a car being stolen near the shore, stuff like that) which is what I want to believe.

For the latter in particular, my general advice is to watch it in the daytime and have a lighthearted romcom on hand to watch afterwards, as it's quite a hard watch, although you do get some handy tips on how to batter someone using snooker balls in a sock, and you can look out for actors at the start of their careers - Ray Winstone (the main character) and, off the top of my head, Dave Quinnan from The Bill and Mickey Pearce from OFAH amongst others.
Eastwood used to give me the creeps as a kid (no idea why, same as that Stupot bloke from Crackerjack) so I’ve never watched a movie of his until the other night.
Big mistake as it was Every which way but loose. What a pile of shit that was 😳
But loved EfA.
We have a Film Friday here in the village during the winter. A local restaurant puts up a projector & we have a bowl of nosebag & a film for €12. Been some great films. A few subtitled ones I would never have seen otherwise. One made in South America had villains & goats! A double whammy for us 🤣 Last weeks was Peter Sellers last one Been There (I think that’s what it was called). Had a very gorgeous Shirley McLean in it.
