The Great Escaper - DVD

In 2014, Royal Navy veteran Bernie Jordan (Michael Caine) and his wife Irene (Glenda Jackson, in her last performance) faced the usual challenges that life in senior care would present an eightysomething couple. However, he had his reasons to attend the 70th anniversary commemoration ceremonies for D-Day in Normandy landing-and, as she covered for him, he snuck out of the facility to do just that. Fact-inspired, elegiac charmer also stars John Standing, Jackie Clune, Danielle Vitalis. 96 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Region Free
