In commemoration of D-Day, Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson star in The Great Escaper.
In the summer of 2014 - the 70th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings - octogenarian Bernie Jordan made global headlines. He’d staged a 'great escape' from his care home to join fellow war veterans on a beach in Normandy. It was a story that captured the imagination of the world - Bernie seemed to embody the defiant, “can-do” spirit of a generation that was fast disappearing.
