A riveting retelling of how a French lieutenant, arrested by Vichy
France, and put in a German-guarded prison, managed to escape.

The film shows every minute detail of the escape, including how every
single necessary item was procured, and yet manages keep the audience
gripped.

A visually-superb, thrilling film well worth the watch.

Cinema par excellence, as the French would say.
