Rex Harrison stars in this dramatic chase film as a former RAF squadron leader on the run after accidently killing a police detective while defending a woman's honor. Based on a popular John Galsworthy novel, Escape punctuates its chase with introspective and philosophical musings between the fugitive and the strangers he encounters. A favorite of Rex Harrison's, Escape was the first post-WWII American production shot in Britain under a special tax-incentive law designed to revitalize the faltering British film industry. – HG
