Barney's inspirations

[jgrit1]

I've been gone for a few weeks and its good to get back.

reviewing the sentimental moments never gets old..no matter how many times 
we've done it.

A few weeks back I told you of my Visit to Alcatraz, and how that was the 
likely inspiration to Barney's description of the Mayberry Jail as "the Rock"

It got me to wondering what were all the influenencers of the Lawman that is 
Brney Fife.  Here is my list so far.


1)  Stories about the famous Jail "Alatraz"  I'm not sure if thre were any 
movies about it at that point.

2)  The Police Gazette--Barney had a subscription and offered to lean them to 
Andy

3)  The Movie G-Men with Glen Ford

4)  Experience guarding those books at teh Armey PX Library

5)  Newspaper articles about famous prosinors such as Gentleman Dan Caldwell

other movies??? books??

I'm not sure if I understood the original message correctly, but here is a
short list of Alcatraz-based movies made before (or during) the TAGS years:

Birdman of Alcatraz (1962), probably Burt Lancaster’s defining role as
Robert "The Birdman" Stroud

The Alcatraz Express (1960)

Experiment Alcatraz (1950), mad doctor performing medical experiments on
prisoners

Train to Alcatraz (1948)

Seven Miles from Alcatraz (1942), but Alcatraz was almost incidental to the
main story of Nazi spies in San Francisco

King of Alcatraz (1938)
