Escape, a dramatic anthology series, concentrated primarily on tales of high adventure based on works by esteemed authors like Rudyard Kipling, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and H.G. Wells.

Though it may not have received the attention lavished on other more well-known series, from 1947 to 1954, it managed to transcend its mostly network-sustained origins to provide top-quality entertainment, relying on outstanding performers like Elliott Lewis, Jeanette Nolan, and Hans Conried, as well as distinguished veterans like William N. Robson and Norman MacDonnell to oversee the production and direction.

Week in and week out, Escape demonstrated that it was truly an outstanding and memorable show...even if it was lacking the Hollywood stars that attracted big-money sponsorship.
