A classic escape picture! - Papillon review by IanF
If you haven''t seen the original Papillon, I strongly recommend it. Some of what he goes through is pretty hard to take, but it's also a warm 'buddy movie' and an exciting escape drama.
The amazing thing is, it's a true story. The subject was locked up in 1933, and did not finally escape for over 14 years.
