On the Run is a 1963 British film directed by Robert Tronson and starring Emrys Jones, Sarah Lawson and Patrick Barr.

[citation needed] Frank Stewart escapes from prison jail, with outside help from criminal bookie Wally Lucas.

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "The plot of this addition to the Edgar Wallace series runs to formula, though leaving untidy loose ends – whether or not the bonds are recovered, and whether the budding romance blossoms or fades, for example.

But the most curious aspect of the film is the unorthodox, and even perplexing, characterisation of the police: Patrick Barr portrays a moderately conventional Sergeant whose superior (played by Garfield Morgan) is a singularly obnoxious person, mean in temperament, and forever sponging on his subordinate.

Various details in the script stress the Inspector's unlikeable personality, but to no purpose beyond the eventual suggestion by the Sergeant that he would like one of his superior's cigarettes for a change.
