The Great Escape (1963) - IMDB TOP 250


The Great Escape (1963)




Synopsis:

Fictionalized account of the massive Allied escape from a German prisoner of war camp during World War II. The German Luftwaffe has decided to put all of their rotten apples - those that continually try to escape - into one camp. As the planner of the escape notes, there is madness in their method as they have put a great deal of expertise into one camp. The plan originally called for over 200 men to escape through three tunnels. All escapees would have appropriate clothing and papers and the ultimate goal of the breakout is to make the Germans use an excess of resources to try and locate them. After one of tunnels is discovered, they concentrate on completing only one of the remaining two and in the end, 76 men manage to escape, three make back to the Allied side. In one of the atrocities of the war, 50 men are shot while "trying to escape".

Movie Review:

This must be my favorite movie of all times. Having seen it for the first time,in I guess 1987,a BBC Christmas broadcast,I was captivated by this brilliant piece of work. In the years after,I probably have seen it a "million" times,owning it on VHS and DVD,and still watching,whenever it is broadcast,in the original language. Why is it so great? This is a movie that keeps you locked to the screen,because it has everything a great movie should have. A great story,a good length,tension,it is a WW2 movie and the actors give top performances.Not just Steve McQueen,although his performance is brilliant,but also James Garner,James Coburn,Richard Attenborough,Charles Bronson and in this film,one of the greatest roles Donald Pleasance,playing the forger. It isn't historically accurate,please read the book by Paul Brickhill,but that doesn't matter a bit. This film gives you an image of POW camp,the prisoners and their guards,the Germans are also played brilliantly by German actors. I will not repeat the story here,but I can tell you,this film will capture you,all the characters are portrayed brilliantly by the actors. There is excitement,humor,tension,drama and emotion. See it,you will not regret it.
