A captured French Resistance fighter during World War II engineers a daunting escape from prison.
A Man Escaped, also known as A Man Escaped or The Wind Bloweth Where It Listeth, is a 1956 French prison film directed by Robert Bresson. The film is loosely based on the memoir of André Devigny, a member of the French Resistance who was imprisoned by the occupying German forces at Montluc prison during World War II. Although the protagonist's name is altered in the film, it is inspired by Devigny's real-life escape.
