On the night of June 11, 1962, inmates Frank Morris and brothers Clarence and John Anglin escaped from Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, a maximum-security prison located on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay, California, United States.

A fourth conspirator, Allen West, failed in his escape attempt and remained behind. Hundreds of leads were pursued by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and local law enforcement officials in the ensuing years, but no conclusive evidence has ever surfaced regarding the fate of the three men. In 1979 the FBI officially concluded, on the basis of circumstantial evidence and a preponderance of expert opinion, that the three men drowned ...

Every Which Way But Loose
''Every Which Way but Loose'' is a 1978 American action comedy film released by Warner Bros. starring Clint Eastwood in an uncharacteristic and offbeat comedy role.

Manis (orangutan)
Manis was a trained orangutan that played Clyde, Clint Eastwood's sidekick in the 1978 box office hit ''Every Which Way but Loose''. Its 1980 sequel, ''Any Which Way You Can'', did not feature Manis, as the "child actor" had grown too much between productions. In the sequel, two orangutans, C.J. and Buddha, shared the role. Manis also featured in the 1983 action comedy film ''Cannonball Run II'' as the 'limo driver'. Controversy In a documentary produced by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), it was alleged, never proven, that Manis was beaten on the set by his trainer to keep him docile. The trainer would spray mace in his face and then beat him with an iron pipe wrapped in newspaper. The source for this information was ''Visions of Caliban'', a book by Dale Peterson and Jane Goodall, but PETA referred to the wrong animal. Peterson and Goodall actually refer not to Manis but to Buddha, the orangutan used in the second film (''Any Which Way You Can''). The bo ...
