I have been watching the comments on how Andy was able to capture this convict and tie him to a tree single handed. I think we're forgetting who we're talking about. My opinion is that he was able to do it because he was "Andy". Obviously, Andy was aware that he was an escapee when he first saw him. After he fed him, I'm sure Andy explained things to him and he told him that he was under arrest. Obviously, the convict was not resisting being tied up. Andy accomplished some amazing things just by words and I'm sure this is no different. I can see the scene now. --- That convict sitting by the fire finishing off some of Andy's bacon and coffee, thinking how clever he was, and how he had "out-smarted" everyone. All the time making up stories of how he came to be in those mountains. And Andy standing over him with that piece of string in his hand just letting him talk. Then, Andy looking down on him saying, "Where did you find those prison shoes? And the convict, knowing he was caught, drops his head. Then Andy would say "Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive. Now I'd appreciate it if you would get up and put your hands around that tree so I can detain you for a little while." And, of course, the convict just did what he was told. What else would he do???
