Solid World War II prison film

Rating: 8/10 (26 September 2003)

This film has much to recommend. There are terrific performances, especially from Alec Guiness, superb locations that were photographed well, terrific sets, and most of all a compelling story. The sum, for me personally, wasn't as satisfying for me as for most. Still I respect the accomplishment of this film though I don't care to see it again.
