This felt more concerned with the interactions among the prisoners, with the escape just at the end. I'm sad to admit that I've only seen small portions of CHICKEN RUN, actually.<br /><br />I wasn't super excited to watch this film beforehand, so I can understand the reluctance. It was a pretty breezy viewing, though.

That was S17 for me.<br /><br />Was given a Billy Wilder Box with SUNSET BLVD, SABRINA, and this...so that third disc sat for a while.<br /><br />Two obvious questions now:<br /><br />How does STALAG stack up to THE GREAT ESCAPE? And after you watched this, how badly did you want to revisit CHICKEN RUN?Ryan McNeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00440134802928893661noreply@blogger.com
