Review of Escape

Escape (1940)
3/10
Very Unconvincing
13 April 2009
Warning: Spoilers
This so called suspense was very flat and unconvincing .Robert Taylor's character is so obvious its really silly . A blind gestapo man could spot him in the dark ! He is so ridiculously nervous and suspicious it just makes no sense , he sticks out so badly he might as well have been wearing a sign ! The actor who plays the German general also played the German officer in ''Casablanca'' and is good in his role as is the countess . The film is marred by Taylor's unconvincing portrayal of an American in Nazi Germany , somehow outwitting the gestapo and appealing to hearts of gold in all people .I like Robert Taylor generally , perhaps it was the director's fault .
