Review :
One more POW film, and rare too.
British film movie industry had a speciality, during the fifties and also a bit in the sixties, that was war films, especially POW features. Films about escapes from POW camps. Americans made the two GREAT ESCAPE and STALAG 17. But the British made more than that. I saw many POW movies from UK. I don't remember them all, except A TOWN LIKE ALICE and KING RAT. But, I repeat, there were many many more. Do not forget that the British soldiers, during WW2, were, for most of them, prisoners by the Nazis. So...
I won't add much to the previous comment, except that the terrific Anton Diffring character is named Schlutz. That sounds familiar to me. Maybe I am wrong, but I think of the famous TV show STALAG 13 - aka PAPA SHULTZ in french title - that spoke about POW guys, in a comedy TV series. The warden of the POW camp also named Schultz. But this character had nothing to do with the evil one played here by the magnificent villain Diffring.
