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.

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 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.
