CAIVOIV CITY On the cold evening of DecemJ>ei30 last, came a news flash that 12 inmates of the Colorado State Penitentiary in Canon City had broken out. For three days, the nation had its eyes focused on Canon Citv as the twelve terrorized the citizens. At the end of that time, all were either recaptured or killed, but those three days were stamped indelibly on the memories of the townspeople and in the annals of daring jailbreaks. Producer Bryan Foy, who has a way with prison pictures, snapped at the opportunity to put on film the high drama that outmellered any Hollywood script, and just six months after the sirens first screamed. '"Canon City" was in the can. ready for the nation's screens. To heighten the aura of reality which surrounds the film, Foy assembled a cast of unknowns, mixed them with the actual inmates of the pen, and has come up with an action powerhouse that is being ballvhooed into a boxoffice bonanza.
