Les paumées du petit matin (English: The Escapees, also known as The Runaways) is a 1981 drama film directed by Jean Rollin.
A drama, it maintained the fairytale and romantic qualities of Rollin's earlier films Requiem pour un Vampire, Fascination and La Nuit des Traquées, but departed from his usual horror themes.
When the police arrive, a gun battle ensues, and with their last two bullets, Michelle and Marie share a kiss before fulfilling their suicide pact.
VHS releases of Les Paumées du Petit Matin were only available in some countries, such as France, Canada and Turkey.
These DVD editions included an interview with Rollin which runs for almost an hour where he discusses the film and other works.
