Win signed, limited edition Michael Caine film poster

To mark the release of The Great Escaper, we’ve two signed film posters up for grabs – here’s how to win.

Cast your minds back to the summer of 2014. Bernard Jordan made global headlines when he staged a “great escape” from his care home in East Sussex. His plan, to join fellow war veterans on a beach in Normandy, commemorating their fallen comrades at the D-Day Landings’ 70th anniversary.

It was a story that captured the imagination of the world, as Bernie embodied the defiant, “can-do” spirit of a generation that was fast disappearing. But of course, this wasn’t the whole story. Behind the headlines was one man’s need to come to terms with the lasting trauma of war.

The Great Escaper stars Michael Caine as Bernie, and follows his adventures, spanning a mere 48 hours. The film also celebrates Bernie’s 60-year marriage to Rene (played by the late Glenda Jackson) but always with an eye to the lessons we might learn from the Greatest Generation.

The Great Escaper opens in cinemas across the UK and Ireland from October 6 2023.

Before her departure in October 2023, Anna-Louise (mostly known as Lou) was Editor in Chief of Saga Exceptional’s newsletters.

A journalist and editor since the ‘90s (when lunches were considerably longer – and louder) she’s written for The Guardian, Total Film, Glamour, Sky and Vogue. She’s also collaborated with huge brands like ASOS, Barclays, House of Fraser and Tesco.

Having cut her teeth in the food and drink industry, she’s been lucky enough to visit vineyards and Michelin star restaurants – as well as much less salubrious, but no less fun destinations. And as editor of a film magazine for six years, she’s interviewed stars like Michael Palin, Sandra Bullock, Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn. She once had a boozy lunch at the Dorchester with Robocop and fell asleep on the train from London, waking up in Nottingham (not her destination).

A Mental Health First Aider, Lou is passionate about wellbeing and happiness, and is constantly seeking out experiences that inspire awe (even the every day, little ones). She has two children, who she managed to get to 18, so is now looking forward to travelling out of the insanely expensive school holidays.
