Gawd, it's been a long time since I've seen Papillon! What a great movie!

I wonder if they have it at Blockbusters.

I enjoyed the film, but I absolutely LOVE the book. 'Banco' the follow-up book isn't bad either, though just for interest, the storytelling isn't up to Papillon's standard.

Gotta watch Popillon (and The Sand Pebbles) about every year.
The scene with his head through the door kills me ever time.
