Escape / directed by: Thomas Farley ; produced by: Julian Biggs ; production agency: National Film Board of Canada (Montreal).
This film indulges in some playful lampooning of the self-deluding tactics of the escape artist. A glib-tongued exponent of escapism, delivering a public lecture, illustrates his contentions with filmed episodes that show how clever people are at running away from reality. The mirror he holds up for us reflects some familiar faces; not our own, of course, but of people we all know.
