The script for this filme noir is based on the novel “A Convict Has Escaped”, by Jackson Budd, but preserves from the original only the main premise - the condemned prisoner who escapes from jail. Clem Morgan, an ex-officer of the Royal Air Force (RAF) can not adapt to civilian life. He joins a gang of smugglers who deal in liquor, cigarettes, and drugs in coffins, with a funeral parlor for a facade. The leader of the gang, however, Narcy, forges the murder of a policeman and manages to cast the blame on Clem: he also takes away his girlfriend. Sentenced to 15 years in the remote prison of Dartmoor, Clem is encouraged by Narcy’s jilted ex-girlfriend to escape. He makes it and is after revenge.

ALBERTO CAVALCANTI

Alberto de Almeida Cavalcanti was born in Rio de Janeiro on February 6, 1897. He started his career as script writer, art director and director in Paris in the twenties, in the early days of cinema. In 1926, he directed a vanguard documentary, Nothing But Time, describing life for some of the workers in Paris during a single day. Cavalcanti moved to England in 1933 to work as a sound engineer and later as producer at the GPO Film Unit, under director John Grierson. With the outbreak of World War II, he transferred to Ealing Studios where he worked for Michael Balcon. There he directed films that were important to his career, such as Champagne Charlie (1944) and They Made me a Fugitive (1947). In the late forties, on invitation of Assis Chateaubriand, he returned to Brazil to be director at Vera Cruz film producers, newly instituted in São Bernardo do Campo. He made some of his best known films in Brazil, with his own producing company (not Vera Cruz) - Simon the One-Eyed (1952) and Woman of Truth (1954). Under pressure for his leftist political position, he again left Brazil in the late fifties and settled in Paris where he produced films for cinema and TV. The last film he directed was La Visite de la Vieille Dame (1971; for TV). He died in Paris on August 23, 1982.
