 A very good movie March 2, 2003
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I frist saw this movie when my dad recorded it on tape. even though the tape is very old, the movie is very good and tells the 'real' story of the Stalag Luft 3 escape. the acting is supurb, Christopher Reeve's ability to pull off this character is absolutly riviting. Even thought the 1963 version of the Great Escape is very good, this one is so much better!
please re-release this true war drama in DVD August 13, 2003
First, I'm a 20 year old. I saw this movie times on tape and I'ved enjoyed every minute of it. This movie tells the real story of the Stalag Luft 3 prison camp escape. This movie was good, the acting was excellent, and even veteran actor Donald Plesance, who played Blyth the Forger in the famed 1963 version of T.G.E., plays a Gestapo agent in this version. Christoper Reeve, who played in the Superman movies, does a great job in portraying Maj.John Dodge. I hope that this 'lost gem' is re-released in DVD. I recemend it to history buffs

I enjoed this movie a lot. It's hard to beat the 1963 Great Escape but this one is good. I thought this movie was very accurate. I recommend it for Great Escape fans!

HAVING SEEN THIS PROGRAM ON TV I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE SOME OF THE BEST PARTS HAS BEEN ELIMINATED.THEY ADDED A LOT TO THE UNDERATANG OF THE FILM. IT MADE STATEMENTS IN THE FILM HAVE MORE MEANING. IN THOSE SCENE IHE PRESENTATION MADE ON SENCE. S.G.K
 A Poor 2nd To The Mini-Series May 16, 2005

Apparently D. Brown never saw the original release on TV. (And Wings Day did NOT escape to Italy; he was re-captured, and sent to Sachsenhausen concentation camp -- from which he also tunnelled out.)
I wish I had read the review of "A Viewer" before ordering. The commercial version omits several scenes, including "Mike Corey"'s arrival at Sagan and a large chunk of him being re-united with the French Resistance agent, "Marie".
If this is re-released on DVD, I hope Vidmark will use the original version; then I will definitely upgrade my review.
