The film reunited Esther Fernández and Ricardo Montalbán after the critical and commercial success of Santa (Norman Foster, 1943), another period literary adaptation in which Fernández starred as a prostitute. Some sources mistakenly claim that Fernández's success in The Escape got her a contract from the Hollywood studio Paramount Pictures.[1] In fact, The Escape was not as successful as Santa and Fernández had already been under contract at Paramount in the early 1940s, though she didn't make any movies. Paramount reportedly rehired her to co-star in Two Years Before the Mast based on old screen tests, not her performance in The Escape.
