re: #181 HappyWarrior
King of Cool but my favorite character is the late James Garner’s Henley. Total wiseass and resourceful. But it’s a great cast all in all and it always stirs my imagination about what I would do if I were a captured airman during WWII behind enemy lines. I actually visited Colditz Castle this past summer. Amazing experience. Those guys were so brilliant. A lot of them got done in by sheer dumb luck. The odds were very against them being in a Castle deep in Saxony.
I also remember watching Stalag 17 with my dad…just recently watched it with my son and he enjoyed it every bit as much as I did. William Holden is the baddest-assed prisoner of all those movies
