Inspired by a True Love Story. Bernard Jordan escapes from his care home to attend the 70th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings in France.
STUFF/ WAIKATO TIMES Graeme Tuckett 4/5 stars “The Great Escaper is a solid piece of work. Whenever the film leans into flag-waving or mawkishness, Parker and his team are quick to pull it back with a sharp cut, or one of Jackson’s withering asides.“
DIRECTED by Oliver Parker
CAST Michael Caine, John Standing, Glenda Jackson, Will Fletcher, Danielle Vitalis, Laura Marcus, Elliot Norman, Victor Oshin
