I Escaped from the Gestapo is a 1943 film from King Brothers Productions, directed by Harold Young about a forger forced to work for Nazi spies. It stars Dean Jagger, Mary Brian and John Carradine.[1] [2]
The film was also known as No Escape and Edmund Lowe was meant to star, and Frances Farmer also, in an uncredited role, and George McFarland of the Our Gang fame as Billy.[3] Frances Farmer started filming but was accused of assaulting a hairdresser, and forced to leave the set.
Torgut Lane is a forger who is busted out of prison but then forced to work for Nazi spies in the U.S. printing counterfeit bills, to undermine the war effort. He ultimately finds a way to report their activities, by engraving a telling give-away on the plate to tip off the FBI.
