Guest: Billy Hayes Part 1
Billy Hayes was a college English major searching for adventure to write about, like his hero Jack London, when in 1970 he had a rude awakening--he was arrested at the Istanbul airport trying to board a plane while carrying four pounds of hashish. After receiving a life sentence, relentless efforts by his family to gain his release, enduring five brutal years and making numerous escape plans, Billy took matters into his own hands and pulled off a daring escape to freedom. Soon after, he wrote his first book, Midnight Express, a worldwide best seller that became an Academy Award-winning film.
Midnight Express Epilogue: Train Keeps Rolling shares Billy Hayes's continued journey of self-discovery as an actor and director, a husband, and a son of aging parents. He fulfills a longtime dream of rapprochement with the Turkish people when he accepts an invitation to speak in Istanbul, also revisiting his former prison and the now abandoned madhouse he had tried to escape from in 1972.

I enjoyed this interview and have followed this issue since I saw Midnight Express in 1978 as a teenager. I am in my 60's now. My takeaway from this is that if you go to another country, play it safe and don't even have over the counter Tylenol in your luggage. But I understand the young people looking at me as an old paranoid fool. Well, if they end up in foreign jail, they cannot say that I didn't warn them. Good luck in their smuggling and prison careers.

I worked with Billy Hayes on Boston Legal. He is not only an incredible person with an incredible story, he's genuinely a helluva nice guy. Hello Billy, good to see you again! (Lu Johnson)

It makes sence now I always wondered if he escaped why was he not recaptured but as billy says he didn't murder anybody 👍🏻

To me , it seems this guy is a classic example of being stuck in time..i feel for this guy it's only yesterday when he was banged up and then got out again...he never grew up past then..I could be wrong, but listening to him, I don't think so.

"This guy", It's Billy Hayes...have some respect. And he's not "stuck in time" it's a fascinating story...even to this day

This man learned nothing. He is talking about great hashish. Didn't he suffer enough because of this drug.

@villixeb 6 ай бұрын

Ugh...It's hashish...not Heroin. It's freakin legal now (weed)...that's kinda the point

I thought the film was crap considering it was the absolute incredible Alan Parker.

The lower people are in jail and the boss is free. Sad.

@hannesstuber222 Жыл бұрын

still not the whole truth. Ask Billy about George ... whom he forgot to mention in his book but who saved him and probably died because of that ... and about heroin that was in his plaster leg according to Turkish newspaper of 1970.

@tlennox2991 5 ай бұрын

It was hash in his leg cast..I knew him when he got a way with it previously

@@tlennox2991 may be, Tom. He could have changed it to make a better profit. Who knows? I knew him cause I stayed next bed in Bayrampasa prison in 1975. And I know that journalist who saw that Turkish newspaper. Perhaps I can get a copy one day, I'll try. Cheers.
