Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, James Garner, Richard Attenborough, James Coburn, and Donald Pleasance form the all-star cast in The Great Escape (1963), The film focuses on the true story of allied POWs attempts to escape Germany’s ‘escape-proof’ Stalag. On the weekend before July 4th, this is one of the better patriotic films that most born after 1970 or so have not seen.

Good choice.
The big studio pictures of the early 60’s are mostly horrible. Bad lighting, audio that is worse, and overall a glorified teevee show. Which at the time sucked also. This flick is okay but beware no nudity no f-bombs.
One of my top five favorites 😀
McQueen was such a cool badass … loved that guy !
Taken way too soon !

“Bullitt” another McQueen Classic !

Good one. Liked The Dirty Dozen also.
