This review is from: Alcatraz (TV documentary) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The previous reviewer incorrectly (though not by name) identifies this as being the 1980 TV-movie "Alcatraz - The Whole Shocking Story," which it is not, as can clearly be seen by checking the pictures here on Amazon and the accompanying information. That said, this IS an interesting 1977 made-for-TV documentary narrated by William Conrad (TV's 'Cannon') and covering the history of the infamous island prison. Worth checking out if you can track down a copy of this rarity.
