Buddy-weepie
with idealistic, young, Armani dressed lawyer James
Stamphill (Christian
Slater) representing no-hoper Henri Young (Kevin
Bacon) and exposing the brutal regime of Alcatraz
in the thirties, while the soundtrack shamelessly rips
off Vaughan Williams.
The real Alcatraz
Island
is used for much of the movie, though the dungeon where
Bacon is kept in three years of solitary darkness was
meticulously recreated in the studio.
The courthouse building is San
Francisco City Hall, though once again the
courtroom itself is a studio set.
Stamphill catches the cable car on Hyde
Street, where there's a truly great view
of the Bay with Alcatraz Island smack in the centre.
The elegant law office building out of which Stamphill
works, though, is in downtown Los
Angeles. It's the extraordinary Victorian Bradbury
Building, 304 South Broadway at Third Street,
made famous by its appearance in Blade
Runner.
