Any thoughts on this? Is it worth the two hours?

The Great Escaper on Masterpiece
2023
Michael Caine (Bernard Jordan), Glenda Jackson (Irene Jordan), Laura Marcus (Young Irene)
Director: Oliver Parker

I'm looking for distraction, but I don't want it to make me sad.

7/10 on IMBd … so probably worth it .
Both Caine and Jackson’s last film . She died , he retired.

Might be sad , might not .

But in my opinion, it's hard to go wrong with anything that Michael Caine is in.
