About Escape!
When Matt Denant (Gerald de Maurier) finds himself wrongly imprisoned for manslaughter, he takes an opportunity to escape from jail during a foggy day and is forced to rely on the goodwill of local people to remain a fugitive of the law.
Directed by Basil Dean, Escape! leans on a strong ensemble — Gerald du Maurier, Mabel Poulton, Ian Hunter — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 1930.
