Escape Dangerous is a 1947 British second feature ('B')[1] drama film directed by Digby Smith and starring Beresford Egan and Marianne Stone.[2] [3] It was written by Oswell Blakeston (pseudonym of Henry Joseph Hasslacher).
Kine Weekly wrote: "Crude, dishevelled costume piece ... hard to follow without the aid of a synopsis, let alone without, it has little to recommend it."[4]
In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "mediocre", writing: "Cardboard historical drama."[5]
Writing in The British 'B' Film, Chibnall and MacFarlane said: "The picture was ambitious in its French Revolutionary setting and its depiction of guillotine and tumbrel, but stolid in all other respects.".
