BRUBAKER (1980) C 132m dir: Stuart Rosenberg

w/Robert Redford, Yaphet Kotto, Jane Alexander, Murray Hamilton, David Keith, Morgan Freeman, Matt Clark, Tim McIntire, Richard Ward, Jon Van Ness

From The Movie Guide: "Matinee idol Redford plays the title character, who's arrested and taken to a terrible prison in which he sees evidence of man's inhumanity to man around every corner. ...

"A very tough movie, BRUBAKER is not for the squeamish. Director Stuart Rosenberg, whose spotty career includes credits ranging from MOVE to THE AMITYVILLE HORROR, moved into a higher strata with this one, but no matter who's directing him, one can't escape the feeling that Redford is the man behind the man behind the camera."

BRUBAKER was nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay (W.D. Richter, Arthur Ross).
