Not one of the best WWII films of all time but certainly entertaining with some excellent set pieces to remember. Made in the days when many long epic films consisted of all star casts. An enjoyable film from director, John Stuges that I prefer over his Western, The Magnificent Seven(1960). The Great Escape(1963) has an interesting premise that is half realized. One actor, James Donald plays a POW prisoner for the second time in five years after playing a similar role in Bridge on the River Kwai(1958).
