I have always been fascinated with Frank Doubleday, a scene stealer par excellence. He is the first true inhabitant of New York we see in the film and I think he is the ideal ambassador for the island prison.  He is strange, almost extraterrestrial in appearance, intense and a tad theatrical in his menace.  I will never forget his affected countdown; “nine-teen…eight-teen…seven-teen”.  You’re the best Frank. moviesinframes: Escape from New York, 1981 (dir.
