I was at my Grandmas and I thought this would be another tedious movie like we usually watch every Friday night. *groan* Actually, I was pleasantly surprised at "Escape". I think this a terribly underrated movie (I'd never even heard of it, yet it impressed me a lot - and that's hard to do for a 15-year-old). I had also known of Norma Shearer, but this was my first time seeing her in a movie and she was truly excellent. She really stands out from everyone.
Despite some rather far-fetched plot twists and some wooden acting (mainly from Robert Taylor), it's a very good film (highly accredited to Norma Shearer) and should be more remembered today.
