Sir Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson are reunited as a married couple in a first-look image for their new film The Great Escaper.

The Oscar-winning British actors last acted together 47 years ago. They will star alongside each other again in the upcoming movie which tells a story, inspired by true events, of a Second World War veteran who escaped his care home in Hove, East Sussex, to attend the 70th Anniversary of the D-Day landings in France.
