Feature Film 1930, 1h09
Starring Gerald du Maurier, Madeleine Carroll, Ian Hunter, Gordon Harker, Edna Best, Horace Hodges, Lewis Casson, Austin Trevor, Felix Aylmer
Based on John Galsworthy's play, the theme of this film is primarily a denunciation of the practice of shutting up in prison and socially ruining a man who has had the misfortune to kill another in a quarrel. But this is later subordinated to the breathless excitement of the escape from Dartmoor and the varied receptions encountered by the fugitive.
