Today's feature is the film that gave Ronald and Nancy Reagan's best man the Oscar for Best Actor. A terrific classic about POWs in WWII and the precursor to the tv series "Hogan's Heroes".

Loved that movie! My sister and I wanted to dig tunnels under all the outbuildings on our farm.

Mom said, ‘NO!!’ Meanie. :)

Great movie. One of the best men-men-in-prison movies.

Hard to rate one over the other: Bridge over the River Kwai, The Great Escape and Stalag 17.

Something to watch on a hot, high desert day.

I’ve often thought that any American pow who held off sharing what he had as’’ Sefton’’aka Holden did with his fellow Americans was not only a first-class low life but I would have thought his fellow pows would have beaten the crap out of him and just taken his stuff.
