Great Escape

This is 1 of favorite classic movies based on events of WW2.

I like it very much. Great actors in the movie.

I bought this cd as a birthday present.. as far as I know , it is a great old movie.. the item was reasonably priced, shipped quickly, and a great value. I would buy again!!!!

I have been into history my whole life. The movie is close to the real story. Great portrayals by a great cast. I spent 13 years in Europe and like seeing those areas in the movies.

Classic to own

The Great Escape begins with the opening of a new German concentration camp designed to house all of the POWs who have been incorrigible at participating in numerous escape attempts. This new prison is "escape proof" and manned with elite guards. The allied officers in the camp do not choose to accept their fate as prisoners. Instead, they plan the most audacious escape attempt ever as they try to spring 250 men in a single night. The planning is highly elaborate and extremely well executed for the most part. I won't reveal more of the plot for the benefit of those who haven't yet seen this classic movie but it should be noted that it is based on a true story.The cast of this movie is one of the best ever assembled. There are some "name" actors such as Steve McQueen, James Garner, Charles Bronson, and James Coburn. All of them are beyond excellent in their performances. McQueen and Garner get the plum roles but all of them shine. Beyond these few, the film is absolutely loaded with strong actors some of whom look familiar but all are believable in their roles. Elmer Bernstein created the score which features one of the most memorable movie themes I've ever heard. The director is John Sturges who also created the great western The Magnificent Seven (Special Edition), and the classic Spencer Tracy film Bad Day at Black Rock among other gems. He is to be commended for crafting a three-hour movie that never drags, never feels like its losing focus at all. Sturges had a big story to tell and he took the time to tell it very well. Needless to say, he got the most from the impressive assemblage of acting talent.As a nice bonus there is a documentary on the making of the film. It's certainly not going to rival the best you'll ever see but it was interesting and enjoyable to watch.The Great Escape is not just a good movie, it is truly one of the finest ever produced. The script is exceptional and the actors and director did it full justice. At various times, it's funny, interesting, dramatic, and suspenseful. Each note is hit perfectly at just the right time. The fact that it's based on a true story from WWII only adds to the impact. I recommend The Great Escape to one and all. I'd say they don't make them like this any more, but the truth is that they never did. Not more than once every blue moon anyway.

What a great cast! James Garner, Steve McQueen, Richard Attenborough just to name a few. Not to mention the fantastic motorcycle jump!

Llegó muy bien protegida, es una gran película que deben de ver todos los cinéfilos.

Very quick delivery! The movie was in great shape for an older movie. The story is factual and the actors are all popular names. Very well acted and we enjoyed it a great deal. A classic!!!
