The Great Escaper (2023) (12a)

Director Oliver Parker. Comedy/Drama


Michael Caine and the late Glenda Jackson star in this inspirational retelling of a D-Day veteran’s remarkable exploit. In the summer of 2014 – the 70th anniversary of the D-Day Landings – Bernie Jordan made headlines after staging a “great escape” from his care home to join fellow war veterans on the beach in Normandy to commemorate their fallen comrades. With great chemistry between Caine and Jackson as Rene, Jordan’s spirited wife of 60 years, Oliver Parker’s (Swimming With Men, Dad’s Army) warm, bittersweet film salutes an adventure that captured the imagination of the world while exploring the lasting trauma of war.

Starring Michael Caine, Glenda Jackson, John Standing


Flicks Advisor (comments from our film promoters)

A wonderful film which had the audience totally captivated. The performances of Michael Cain and Glenda Jackson were quite extraordinary. Brilliant.

The audience really enjoyed it. There were several tears shed, but a lovely film

I absolutely loved this film! Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson are supremely well developed characters. Not a moment wasted in a moving and fascinating story. A couple of audience members not quite sure about it, but most thought it well worth seeing.
