<br/><br/> Henri Charriere himself is Papillon.  Convicted in Paris in 1931, aged 25, for a murder he had not committed, jCharriere was sentenced to life imprisonment in the penal colony of French Guiana.  One thought obsessed him: escape.  Forty-two days after his arrival in 1933, he made his first break, traveling on the open sea in a tiny boat.  In desperate stages, 1500 miles in all, he reached Colombia.  There he was recaptured by the French authorities and sentenced to two years in solitary confinement.
