Errors in geography: When Sergeant Major Coward is discussing linking up with the Polish Underground, he is told that the agent is an optician somewhere in Poland, in Breslau. Breslau was in fact a German city and did not become Polish until after WW2 when the boundaries of Poland were shifted westwards and the name changed to Wroclaw. moreFAQ

Based on a true life autobiography of a British serviceman. This film relates the tale of his relentless campaign to cause as much bother as possible while residing in a WWII POW camp.
A Good story but lacks the script, budget and catchy theme tune of the still marvellous "Great Escape".
