Great Movie

Rating: 10/10 (27 October 2005)

This has to be one of the greatest movies I've even seen. I think my family and friends can vouch for numerous times I've watched it.
We can thank the movie "The Magnificent Seven" for the "Great Escape" being made. Director John Sturges originally tried to get MGM's backing in 1953, but was turned town due to demise of over half the escapees. It wasn't until he achieved great success with the magnificent seven, that he won over the Mirisch Company and United Artist to do such a film and make it so entertaining and not deviating from the details of the escape.
Steve McQueen and James Garner are a pleasure to watch, and It's amazing how the writers were able to fit McQueens into the film.
I'd recommend it to everyone.
