[QUOTE="Stick, post: 506513, member: 3474"] [Ahem]. Yes, absolutely fantastic film Rande for a few reasons. The cast is stellar... McQueen, Dicky Attenborough, Garner, Bronson, Pleasance, Coburn, McCallum, Jackson... it tells one of the most incredible stories... and it is pretty accurate. Apart from McQueen's classic motor cycle scenes (ironically the bike was a Triumph disguised as a German machine) and the attempted escape using an aeroplane, the rest is reasonably accurate albeit the film gives the impression events unfolded far quicker than in real life. It's accuracy is mainly due to Wally Flood being hired as a technical advisor. Wally was a prisoner in Stalag Luft 3 and worked on the tunnels. A truly remarkable (true) story acted by a icons of the big screen. [Thanks Rande, I got all excited then...!] [/QUOTE]
