Accurately based on true events, the plan didn’t end so well for many of those brave men.

Absolutely one of my favorite movies of all time. Bernstein’s musical score is one of the best.

I like Donald Pleasance as the forger. Great actor.

I hate to say this but aside from the last 25 min
It’s tedious to me

Great movie indeed!
There’s something about Steve McQueen playing catch off the cell walls with his old glove and ball that captured a bit of In-Your-Face American Defiance for me. Since I was a boy I always loved that scene.

If I recall correctly, Charles Bronson met Jill Ireland during the filming. She was married to David MacCallum at the time.

Dozens were involved.

Great movie. I read the book by Brickhill and the movie is Very accurate, except for the Steve McQueen character, which they put in the script to appeal to American audiences. Take out McQueen (tho I enjoyed his character) and you have what really happened.

I like the scene of James Coburn at the cafe in France:
Telephone for you ,Sir.
Me?

The Great Escape would traditionally be shown on British TV at some point over the Christmas holidays when a large percentage of people would be off work.

Since I was a boy I always loved that scene. Me too. Especially at the end when he was recaptured and he marched straight to the cooler and one of the guards handed him his ball and glove (or was it a prisoner, I forget...)

I like Donald Pleasance as the forger. Great actor.And as bonus he was in the RAF, was shot down, and spent time in a German stalag.

I loved the montage in the Tarantino movie “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” where Leo’s character tried out for the role in The Great Escape, but lost it to Steve McQueen.

No, it wasn’t. Canadians and other allies were involved as well. There’s a Bonber Command museum about an our south of Calgary, in a town called Nanton, that has a display about this.
