The Great Escaper
(Cert 12A, 1 hr 36 mins, 2023)

Based on the true story of Bernard Jordan, the 89 year old war veteran, who “escaped” from his care home on the south coast to join the D Day commemorations in France in June 2014. Featuring tremendous performances from Michael Caine, and Glenda Jackson, in her last film.
“Caine and Jackson and their ineffable class give this film some real grit: it’s a wonderful last hurrah for Jackson and there is something moving and even awe-inspiring in seeing these two British icons together.” The Guardian
