Arrested for affront to religion and common decency, the womanizer faces five years in prison for his antics. One day, walking around the prison grounds, he finds an iron bar which he sharpens and uses as a tool to dig a pathway through the floorboards underneath his bed. Just two days before his planned escape, however, he gets transferred to a different cell.
A Charming and charismatic guy, it is no wonder it was Heath Ledger who portrayed him in Lasse Hallström‘s film `Casanova‘ from 2005.
