This is a 1960 French film directed by Jacques Becker, based on a true event concerning five prison inmates in La Santé Prison in France in 1947. For the main roles in the film, Director Becker used mostly non-actors, one of whom is Jean Keraudy who was actually involved in the 1947 escape attempt and who introduces the film. It is an engaging and thrilling docu-drama with a surprise at the end.
