The Great Escaper (2023)
Starring Michael Caine, Glenda Jackson and John Standing The Great Escaper tells the story of a World War II veteran sneaking out of his care home to attend the 70th anniversary commemoration of the D-Day landings in Normandy. Church Street in Twickenham is showcased throughout the movie as the main character makes his journey to Normandy. Church Street in Twickenham is a narrow street just off the main town centre. It has a completely different feel to it from the high street and has small, independent, boutique style shops with some nice cafes, restaurants and a small square at one end.
