The Great Escaper
AroView: A touching biographical drama based on the experience of British World War II Royal Navy veteran Bernard Jordan, who escaped from his care home to attend the 70th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings in France.
The film marks the final performances for both British screen icons, with Michael Caine having since retired, and Glenda Jackson, who died nine months after completing the film.
“A moving and surprisingly nuanced drama offering far more than flag-waving nostalgia.” ~Empire
“It could have a lot of sentimental mush, but with Jackson and Caine on this form, it’s a total heartbreaker.” ~Phil de Semlyen, Time Out
