A Man Escaped (1956)


IMDb plot summary: A captured French Resistance fighter during WWII engineers a daunting escape from prison.
Directed by Robert Bresson. Starring François Leterrier, Charles Le Clainche, Maurice Beerblock, and Roland Monod.

I don't quite get the hype of this one. It's fine, but it's not particularly tense or creative or saying anything unique. As far as French prison escape movies go, I'll take Le Trou any day.

How it entered my Flickchart:
A Man Escaped < Four Weddings and a Funeral
A Man Escaped > Waltz with Bashir
A Man Escaped > Luther
A Man Escaped < Legally Blonde
A Man Escaped < Kagemusha
A Man Escaped > Robots (WHAT is this doing so high on my chart)
A Man Escaped < The Game
A Man Escaped < Happy-Go-Lucky
A Man Escaped > Meet the Parents
A Man Escaped > Milk
A Man Escaped > Disturbia

Final spot: #1648 out of 2721.
