Great Escape, The
-- Thrilling rendition of a fact-based story about an elaborate escape of Allied prisoners from a German P.O.W. camp during World War II. Steve McQueen is the most ambitious of a crew that includes James Garner, Charles Bronson, James Coburn and Richard Attenborough as they plot a mass escape which becoomes an intriguing, highly entertaining suspense gripper. With John Sturges directing, it all builds to a stunning, sobering climax that both tugs at the heart and keeps it racing. (A-I) (br)
