My father produced "Brubaker". He tried to get the movie made for ten years along with several rewrites and finally the script went to Redford who wanted to do it. It was a very exciting time . Yaphet Kotto should have gotten a best supporting actor Oscar nomination. Redford got some of the best reviews of his career and he should have gotten a best actor nomination but it didn't happen, although the screenplay did get an Oscar nomination.
I watched this movie decades ago. Looking forward to watching it again with this review in mind!
