A Man Escaped (1952), directed by Robert Bresson, with Francois Letterier, Roland Monod, Charles Le Clainche. DVR'd off of recent TCM telecast.
Minimalist, but quite harrowing drama about a French lieutenant (Letterier) and his experiences while being imprisoned by the Gestapo, and condemned to die. The clock is ticking, and he has only so much time to pull off a successful escape, or surely meet his fate before a firing squad - a fate that has already befallen several of his comrades in the prison. Based on a true story, of André Devigny, a member of the French Resistance held in Montluc prison by the occupying Germans during World War II.
