One of the first excellent WWII films!

Rating: 8/10 (25 April 2014)

After WWII films dealing with the war itself started being made. This is an excellent example of that film making.
I think every student interested in the war and POW thematics should see this film. It is one of the classics which was played over and over on many TV*s around the world. It is up there with the Bridge on the river Kwai.
Plot is simple yet interesting. I loved in the old movies how film moved at the high pace, yet it was not a pure action film. In the modern films you have to have million bodies and million crashed cars to achieve that fast pace.
All in all it is a must see, for all who love WWII themes and all who want to study film and acting.
