I am going to differ from all of the other reviewers.This film may have the stock components of a POW film but in reverse.This time it is a Nazi POW trying to escape.So effectively he becomes the "hero" of this film.Everyone else has gone on about what a superior film this is and how we symapthise with the main character.Well i beg to differ.It is quite clear from the film that he is a typical Nazi who believed in the war and Hitler and i have to say that it is difficult in raising one sympathetic cheer for a man who,if he had his way would have bombed Britain into submission.I have not seen this film for about 40 years and just about managed to sit through it when it was shown on TV recently.That was definitely my final viewing.
