Quote from Gorch

Saw a movie today at a Cinemark theater and was floored to see previews for "The Great Escape". It has been digitally restored and will be shown twice at Cinemark theaters on Wednesday, November 7.
There were no Duke titles scheduled, but since a lot of contributors enjoy this film I thought I'd let you know.

We deal in lead, friend.

Thank you B/ I will head out to see this one too. I can already hear the theme playing ;-))

Hi gents, I've probably seen this movie at least 100 times over the years. I love every minute of the movie itself-with the exception of the murder scenes. The theme music is one fo the best War Movies themse out there. Some it can be compared with are the themes to Das Boot, Where Eagles Dare, Kellys Heroes, The Battle of Britain, Patton, The Bridge Over the River Kwai, Zulu, "Dog Faced Soldier" from: To Hell and Back; and so many others.

Hi Keith, sane here-thanks for posting the beginning scenes with the theme music. This is one I would like to have as a ring tone on my cell phone.

This is my absolute alltime most favorite PoW escape movie. A close and tied for 2nd place are: The Colditz Stroy (Sir John Mills, Eric Portman, Theodor Bikel) and The Password Is Courage.(Dirk Bogarde)

PS, I just noticed when reading some of the Goofs. Again said author is wrong on a minor point. The author said that Group Captain Ramseys ribbonbar had the orders in the wrong place. That was only true because the ribbonbar was put on upside down. If it were on correctly, the order of precidene of Ramsey's ribbons would then be absolutely correct.
