Although the French film, "A Condemned Man Escapes," is somewhat similar in theme to the recently released American film "Mistress Mildred," these two movies sheds some light on the differences between what some see as French "art" films and the popular American "gothic."
Consequently, if one wants to see a brightly packaged product whose contents are clearly predictable, then perhaps one should see "Papillon." On the other hand, if one wants to experience a carefully constructed and emotionally gripping event, then one should try to see "A Condemned Man Escapes."

Contraasted with the carefully constructed austerity of "Condemned Man," "Papillon" is a fairly typical Hollywood production. Much of the sensation and appeal of "Papillon" derives from its widely varying and beautifully photographed scenery and its exploitation of the reputations of Dustin Hoffman and Steve McQueen.

Instead of training his actors to exhibit what they see as the features of their characters, Bresson insists that they act without dramatic affect, that is, their faces and voices are to exhibit as little staged emotion as possible.
The sound track of A Condemned Man Escapes" beautifully supports the dramatic
interaction of images. A “musique concrete” of noises, such as footsteps, jangling keys, closing doors and knocking on walls, conveys the sense of being in prison. The “Kyrie” from Mozart’s “Mass in C Minor.” Reflects the state of spiritual freedom from which the hero is seized and into which he escapes.
Finally, the voice of the officer links the action and reveals the officer's thoughts. A vivid sense of imprisonment is created by watching the film almost entirely in a prison cell.
