Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Midnight Express by Billy Hayes Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Midnight Express by Billy Hayes Billy Hayes tells his version of 'Midnight Express' The Turkish government held Billy Hayes prisoner for five long years and Oliver Stone wrote an Oscar-winning screenplay about Hayes' hellish ordeal and eventual escape, but the convicted drug smuggler thinks the Eurasian nation took a bad rap from the 1978 film "Midnight Express." Hayes will finally get a chance to set the record straight when he tells his own story beginning at 8 tonight on the season premiere of the National Geographic Channel's "Locked Up Abroad." "I mean when you look at 'Midnight Express' the film, you don't see any good Turks at all," Hayes said in a recent interview at The Oklahoman . "It creates this overall impression that Turkey is this horrific place. Well, that's not fair to Turkey. I love Istanbul. I actually spent quite a bit of time in Istanbul before I was arrested." The film is based on Hayes' autobiography, but Hayes said even his own book doesn't tell the full story of his imprisonment in 1970 and his escape in 1975. "When I first got back, to write this book I had legal restrictions," he said. "There were things I really couldn't say, in terms of what happened in the past with my life, now that I was back in the United States, due to the legal jeopardy that it might put me in. So I had to be a little circumspect in what I said in the book." Hayes, 63, has been working as a writer, actor, producer and director in theater and film ever since. He's married to Wendy West, daughter of Jackie West, who was for many years a driving force in Oklahoma City's theater community before her death on May 4. Hayes was in Oklahoma City recently for Jackie West's memorial service. "One of the reasons that I think Jackie accepted me as a son-in-law so readily was because she loved theater," the New York native said. "When she first met me, I was an escaped convict drug smuggler, and a Yankee no less. I actually met Wendy, of all places, at the Cannes Film Festival in 1978 when 'Midnight Express' was premiered there." Hayes was introduced to his future wife by her cousin, Don Chastain, an Oklahoma City-born writer-actor who had a film, "The Mafu Cage," premiering at Cannes that year. "The rest is history because we've been together ever since," Hayes said. She even stuck by him when the release of "Midnight Express" caused an angry Turkish government to issue a warrant for Hayes' arrest through Interpol. "There's an attitude in the film, as much as I love what they did and I think (director) Alan Parker is a brilliant filmmaker, and (actor) Brad Davis put his heart and soul into the part (of Hayes), he was wonderful in that," Hayes said. "(But) there's an overall effect that wasn't true to Turkey and it wasn't true to my story." For example, he never bit the tongue out of the mouth of a trusty/informant, as was depicted in one of the film's most horrific scenes, although Hayes admits he did attack and try to kill the man. Further, the accidental killing of a sadistic guard who was preparing to rape him never happened. There was such a guard, an exception to the rule as the guards went, but he was gunned down in an Istanbul cafe by a former prisoner long before Hayes' escape. And in fact, Hayes never escaped from the infamous Sagmalcilar prison, but was eventually transferred to an island prison, where he ultimately escaped by sea in a rowboat in the middle of a storm. "The escape (in the film) is so totally different than my real escape," he said. "It was almost like an afterthought in the film." In the film, Hayes (Davis) is shown donning a guard's uniform and simply walking out through the gates. Hayes says there was much more to it than that, involving a lot of running and hiding through Turkey, dying his hair different colors, and swimming a river into Greece. "I had an escape that was made for Hollywood, and they didn't use it in the film," he said. Midnight Express: The cult film that had disastrous consequences for the Turkish tourism industry. It was one of Alan Parker’s greatest movies – a gut-wrenching prison epic with an Oliver Stone script and pounding Giorgio Moroder music. Midnight Express (1978), produced by David Puttnam, won two Oscars and very quickly assumed cult status. What the filmmakers hadn’t anticipated was just how deeply they had offended the Turkish people or the disastrous consequences their film had on the country‘s tourism industry. Now, Sally Sussman’s new film Midnight Return , which premieres in Cannes today, explores the legacy of one of the most controversial movies of its era. In Midnight Express , a young American, Billy Hayes (played by the late Brad Davis), is arrested at Istanbul airport with some hash taped to his chest. He is thrown in prison and endures a traumatic time at the hands of sadistic prison guards before managing to escape. The film features some brutal scenes, most notoriously the sequence in which Billy, in huge slow motion close-up, is shown biting out the tongue of the Turkish guard. Parker later acknowledged that he got a little bit carried away with this scene which required the unfortunate Davis to spit out a pig’s tongue again and again. “I’d never seen a movie, ever, that stuck with me the way that movie did,” Californian-based Sussman recalls of when she first saw Parker’s film as a student at the University of Southern California in the late 1970s. “I just remember leaving that film shaking.” Sussman went to carve out a career as a writer and producer of soap operas such as The Young And The Restless . By coincidence, her husband Tony Morino, knew Hayes, who became a family friend. “The character of Billy Hayes in the film was passive, much more of victim. The real Billy, in prison for the five years, was a very wily character, always plotting, always planning, always hoping he could escape, which he eventually did.” There was a reason for the casting of Davis. The studio had originally wanted Richard Gere for the role but the filmmakers realised Gere was too much the hero. For the movie really to work, audiences, had to believe that Billy wasn’t going to make it. That’s why they went for a sensitive actor like Davis. In the documentary, Parker, producer Puttnam and many others involved in the original production appear on screen as does the real Hayes and two fellow prisoners held with him during his nightmare time in a Turkish jail. Sussman explores the impact of Midnight Express on Turkey and on the life of Hayes. “It [Midnight Express] became a huge part of pop culture and it also had political ramifications,” the director says. “It was probably the most hated film ever in Turkey.” The prison warders are portrayed as sadistic, lazy and corrupt. The Turkish legal system likewise comes out of the film very badly. Even the warder's children are shown as being overweight and grotesque. After interviewing all the protagonists behind the film, Sussman has concluded that Midnight Express was made with “no malice” or no intention to offend the Turks. “I can’t believe for one moment that was Alan’s motive,” she says of director Parker. “I think that was what you call an unintended consequence. I think they were creating what they thought was a somewhat loosely based story on Hayes’s life.” When Midnight Express was released, it was credited with destroying the Turkish tourism industry almost single-handed and of poisoning relations between Turkey and the West. In the documentary, Parker stands by his work, but Stone expresses his regret at the misunderstanding that arose from the film. In the documentary, Sussman, her husband and Hayes visit Turkey. Hayes discovers that he is still persona non grata. “He was very emotional being back in Turkey because he really loved Turkey and he always felt bad about its portrayal in the film,” Sussman says. “When he was back there, it was a chance for him to reassure Turkish people that ‘no. I don’t hate you’ …even if they hated him.” When Hayes visited the places where he had been incarcerated, he had to be accompanied by plain clothes Turkish policemen for his own protection. He didn’t publicise his visit. Midnight Return is screening in Cannes, just as Midnight Express did all those years ago, when Hayes attended the premiere – and met his future wife Wendy. Did Hayes hide any marijuana in his socks when he was leaving Istanbul this time round? “He might have … but he didn’t tell me!” Sussman bursts into laughter at the question. ‘Midnight Return’ screens in Cannes this week.

  • THE MYTH of 'TERRIBLE TURK' and 'LUSTFUL TURK' Nevs
    THE WESTERN IMAGE OF TURKS FROM THE MIDDLE AGES TO THE 21ST CENTURY: THE MYTH OF ‘TERRIBLE TURK’ AND ‘LUSTFUL TURK’ Nevsal Olcen Tiryakioglu A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of Nottingham Trent University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2015 Copyright Statement This work is the intellectual property of the author.

Because of their fear of being dominated by Islam, European Christians defined the Turks as the wicked ‘Other’ against their perfect ‘Self.’ Since the beginning of Crusades, the Western image of Turks is associated with cruelty, barbarity, murderousness, immorality, and sexual perversion. These characteristics still appear in cinematic representations of Turks. In Western films such as Lawrence of Arabia and Midnight Express, the portrayals of Turks echo the stereotypes of ‘terrible Turk’ and ‘lustful Turk.’ This thesis argues that these stereotypes have transformed into a myth and continued to exist uniformly in Western contemporary cinema. The thesis attempts to ascertain the uniformity and consistency of the cinematic image of Turks and determine the associations between this image and the myths of ‘terrible Turk’ and ‘lustful Turk.’ To achieve this goal, this thesis examines the trajectory of the Turkish image in Western discourse between the 11th and 21st centuries.

  • Prison Escapes 6
    PRISON ESCAPES 6 Alfred George Hinds Alfred George "Alfie" Hinds (1917, Newington Butts, London – January 5, 1991) was a British criminal who, while serving a 12-year prison sentence for robbery, successfully broke out of three high security prisons. Despite the dismissal of thirteen of his appeals to higher courts, he was eventually able to gain a pardon using his knowledge of the British legal system. [citation needed ] Biography Hinds grew up in a children's home following the death of his father, a thief who died while receiving ten lashes (from a cat 'o 6) as a form of corporal punishment for armed robbery, before running away at the age of seven. Eventually arrested for petty theft, he would later escape a Borstal institution for teenage delinquents. Although drafted into the British Army during the Second World War, Hinds deserted from the armed forces and continued his criminal career before his eventual arrest for a jewellery robbery in 1953 ($90,000 of which was never recovered by authorities) [citation needed ]. Although pleading not guilty, he was convicted and sentenced to 12 years imprisonment. However, Hinds later escaped from Nottingham Prison after sneaking through the locked doors and over a 20-foot prison wall for which he became known in the press as "Houdini" Hinds. He worked as a builder-decorator in Ireland and throughout Europe until his arrest by detectives of Scotland Yard in 1956 after 248 days as a fugitive.[1] After his arrest, Hinds brought a lawsuit against authorities charging the prison commissioners with illegal arrest and successfully used the incident as a means to plan his next escape by having a padlock smuggled in to him while at the Law Courts.

Marie ran booze from Palm Beach to Key West with fifteen of the fastest contact boats. On March 12, 1928 in Coconut Grove Miami, Marie was unloading 5,526 bottles of liquor from her boat when she and her crew were caught and her empire fell apart. BILL MCCOY - THE SMUGGLERS LIVED: 1877–1948 Bill McCoy was a sailor from Syracuse, New York whose admiration for boating vessels led him into a career of designing deluxe speedboats for millionaires.

PISANI* THEODORE SIMON, ESQ.** One of the outstanding success stories in international criminal law' over the last decade has been the proliferation of treaties on the transfer of penal sanctions, commonly referred to as prisoner transfer treaties. Such treaties permit individuals imprisoned, and in some in- stances, on parole, in foreign countries to return to their home coun- try to serve out their sentences or their parole terms. While such an idea can be traced back more than a century, proliferation of these treaties has come only in the past two decades when international travel has become a reality for large numbers of people. Many articles have been written on the legal impact of prisoner transfer treaties.

  • Prison Escapes 8
    PRISON ESCAPES 8 Amazing Prison Escape In France A gang used rocket launchers and heavy weapons to blow open the outer doors of a French prison and free one of the inmates in a spectacular jail break. A group of at least four men in police uniform attacked the prison in Fresnes, south of Paris, to free Antonio Ferrara, an Italian national convicted of armed robbery who had already escaped from jail once. The men fired repeatedly with rocket launchers at the prison doors to blow them open and at the watchtowers, causing serious damage but no injuries. They entered the prison through two separate doors and then passed explosives to Ferrara, who used them to blast through the bars over his cell window and escape, in the third jail break this year in France. The entire operation at the Fresnes prison, home to some 1,800 inmates, only lasted 15 minutes. Ferrara, 29 -- who was sentenced in January to eight years in prison for two bank hold- ups committed in 1997 -- fled with his accomplices in a waiting car, which police believe had been stolen and fitted with false license plates. The fugitive, also known as "Succo", escaped from prison in 1998 during a doctor's visit with the help of an accomplice, and unsuccessfully attempted to break out of La Sante prison in central Paris last summer by using explosives. French Justice Minister Dominique Perben, who rushed to the scene immediately following the incident, deplored what he called a "military-type operation", saying the culprits had used "weapons of war".

Here are a few other notorious prison escapes. • A special police officer stands guard in front the jail of Sequedin near Lille, northern France, April 14. Redoine Faid, an inmate, used explosives and took hostages to escape out of jail on Saturday morning, local media reported. PARIS Redoine Faid's escape from a French prison landed him on Interpol's most wanted list Monday, two days after he took four guards hostage and used explosives hidden inside tissue packets to blast his way out of a prison in Lille. Faid freed his hostages along his getaway route. It wasn't the first time that Faid, an armed robber being held in the death of a police officer, had gone on the lam. He was arrested in 1998 after three years on the run in Switzerland and Israel, according to the French media. Faid was freed after serving 10 years of his 31-year sentence, then swore he had turned his life around, writing a confessional book about his life of crime and going on an extensive media tour. "When I was on the run, I lived all the time with death, with fear of the police, fear of getting shot," he told Europe 1 radio at the time.
