A milestone in prison escape movie

Director: Dong Sigel Starring: Clint Eastwood I watched this movie with curiosity (see how the raincoat is used to escape from prison) and reverence. Although this movie has some minor flaws, it is still one of the most classic prison escape movies. I think this movie has an impact on the later two classic movies, "Shawshank's Redemption" (1995) and "Green Miracle" (1999). Very big, the latter two can be found in "Escape from Yakara" in many ways. So I think it’s best to watch this movie before evaluating the latter two classic movies
