"Escape" is an engaging WWII-era propaganda adventure intrigue. The film is presented in the classically-framed and lit b&w style of the era. The whole thing just feels cozy...except for Bob Taylor's performance. As was so often the case his performance is completely over-the-top emotionally. He was such a ham. He's on level 9 in every scene, always on the brink of sinking his own cause of saving his mother.
Honestly, I have no idea how Taylor achieved such a legacy of being a highly-regarded actor of his times. His performances so often disturb most of the pictures in which I've seen him play.
