Brady's Escape: Review

starstarstarstar
Savage is a US bomber pilot in WW II forced to bail out over Nazi-occupied Hungary. He and his wounded navigator, Usztics, are found by a group of hard-living nomads who initially want to kill Savage for bombing their country but then decide to hide him from the Germans. Usztics later dies of his wounds; Brady falls in love with Bansagi, who is teaching him Hungarian; and little orphan Reno comes to idolize Savage. Eventually the flier makes a break for freedom, riding fast across the Hortobagy Plain for Yugoslavia, where he can join up with Tito's partisans. The kind of war film no one makes anymore, BRADY'S ESCAPE is surprisingly good--an exciting story well told. Only the villains (cardboard Nazis indistinguishable from the thousands of other Nazi villains throughout film history) are weak enough to damage the picture. The camerawork, quick pace, and competent performances by Savage and the supporting cast, however, make the film well worth checking out for simple entertainment. leave a comment
