Great Escape | |
| They Made Me a Fugitive / int_2562da69 | comment |
Great Escape: We don’t see how Clem escapes prison, but he manages to elude the police well enough not to be caught until he reaches London. | |

We Have to Get the Bullet Out!: While on his Great Escape, Clem gets shot by a farmer and is left with a painful collection of buckshot across his shoulder. When he finds Sally, she takes out the pieces even if she's constantly feeling faint from the sight of blood. | |

Black Market | |
| They Made Me a Fugitive / int_327b5216 | comment |
Black Market: How Narcy makes his money. One thing that must be remembered is that England continued to ration their food until 1954, so commodities like meat, coffee, and nylon stockings were something that were still hard to find and were found through the unsavoury black market. | |

Guilt-Ridden Accomplice | |
| They Made Me a Fugitive / int_44c279ae | comment |
Guilt-Ridden Accomplice: Soapy and his involvement with the manslaughter of the police officer which technically was his fault, not Clem. He’s caught between wanting to help Clem but being scared of Narcy’s vengeance. It doesn’t matter in the end since Narcy’s hit man kills him and dumps him into the river. | |

Affably Evil: Narcy comes off as charming in the beginning, but he shows his ugly side when he brutally beats Sally for visiting Clem in prison. | |

Did Not Get the Girl | |
| They Made Me a Fugitive / int_8b442f50 | comment |
Did Not Get the Girl: The film takes a decidedly bleak route when it comes to its ending: Clem has to go back to jail. Although Sally declares her undying love for Clem, it’s unlikely that he’ll be out of jail anytime soon. | |
