Escape (1948)
Rex Harrison as an escaped convict? I couldn't picture it either, so I put on the old forgotten drama Escape. But folks, it's forgotten for a reason. When I wasn't falling asleep, I was bored to tears. It felt like a 1931 cheap flick, not a 1948 drama with an actor fresh off Anna and the King of Siam.
Rex's character was pretty impossible to root for. He's walking in a park and gets approached by a hooker. When a policeman tells her to move along or he'll run her in, Rex defends her "honor" and gets involved in a fistfight - then accidentally kills the cop with a fatal blow! How stupid can you get? So, since he gets the death penalty, he thinks it's not fair and plans an escape. If you absolutely love Rex Harrison and want to see him in this type of role, you can rent it, but just don't feel forced to stick with it all the way through. You're better off with The Long Dark Hall, which has a similar premise.
