1 character mistake
Directed by: Don Siegel
Starring: Clint Eastwood, Patrick McGoohan, Roberts Blossom, Jack Thibeau
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Frank Morris arrives at Alcatraz, he has to take all his clothes off for a routine check. When the guards escort him to his cell you can see him wearing a pair of white boxers, but in the next scene (still walking) he is naked again and when placed into his cell you can see him wearing a pair of pants. (00:06:15)
Frank Morris: There's always the possibility that some asshole will be offended. Isn't there?
Trivia: Director Don Siegel has a cameo as the prison doctor.
Answer: It is possible and there is even a YouTube video showing how to do it.
