Another great escape...almost.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 6, 2013

Verified Purchase

I have always loved and owned this movie from Beta, VHS, DVD and now BLU-Ray. Part of my bias is that I love movies revolving around trains, particularly during war. Another such classic is "The Train" starring Burt Lancaster. I digress. This movie should have been as good as it is....it had a 'cast of millions'....lead by Frank Sinatra, Trevor Howard and lots of other 1st class British actors. It revolves around the escape from and Italian POW camp for British soldiers, whose commanding officer dies. An American Airforce Colonel (Sinatra) arrives at the camp on the day of the funeral, and because of rank , assumes command. Conflict between military ideals and histories ensues. The camp is abandoned and they escape, are caught and loaded onto a train by the Germans. They steal it. Buy the movie to see the whole story and the ending. Made a lot of years ago, it has however been transferred to Blu-Ray format seamlessly with DTS 5.1 HD sound. Well worth the up-grade.

Gripping Escape with Sinatra at his Best

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 15, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is one of the Best WWII escape flicks of the 1960's and is loosely based on a true story. Sinatra plays an Army air corp pilot who gets shot down over Italy and ends up in an Italian POW camp that is populated by Mostly Elite British forces (Royal Scottish Fusiliers) and a handful of American GI's. He realizes he is out classed and refuses to take the position of Senior officer. He eventually asserts his authority with mixed results. His inexperience and bad judgement calls have lasting and deadly consequences. The plot is wonderful if improbable but it works because something like this did happen. The acting is first rate and the production values were tremendous. The scenery is fantastic as is the sound track. If you liked The Great Escape I can pretty much guarantee you will like this. By the way the transfer looks awesome on The Blu-Ray. The sound is also very good. There are also some very nice extras on this that shed some interesting light on the movie production,the history of the real event and some interesting things about Sinatra too. Highly recommended.

A Great War Film Carried By I'ts Star

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 21, 2012

Verified Purchase

In what I believe to be the best World War II film of the Sixties(Yes,even better than the star posturing,The Great Escape)before "Patton",Frank Sinatra plays Colonel Joseph Ryan,a very clever,level-minded strategist who after crashing in German-occupied Italy,finds himself the new ranking P.O.W.officer.Ryan is immediately at odds with the fiery,bull-headed Major Fincham(excellently played by Trevor Howard)over the squalor the prisoners live in.The relationship with his fellow P.O.W.s is further strained when he reveals tunnels to his captors for improved living conditions.The role Sinatra plays is a complicated one:a clever officer attempting to negotiate his way through simple,straightforward propositions only to have the cruel characteristics of war and its cold moral debates intervene.Sinatra's character has to change and adapt quite often.This is by far,his best performance since "The Man with the Golden Arm" and "From Here to Eternity".Even though what really propels this story is the fast-paced action driven by the train of the title,what I ultimately focus the most on are the character-driven strengths of the story.In addition to damn good acting,Ol' Blue Eyes wears his role well with the usual aplomb magnified by his Chairman of the Board persona.

Von Ryan's Express

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 13, 2012

Verified Purchase

This flick is a little known suspenseful WW II action movie from the 60's. I would say it ranks below the two greatest classic WW 2 prisoner of war films, "The Great Escape"and "Bridge On The River Kwai", but It's still one of the very best of the genre and my absolute favorite film starring Frank Sinatra. Within a minute after his entrance to the film, you'll forget he was ever a singer and completely accept him as a brash P-38 fighter pilot., ,
The plot moves quickly and the suspense and action don't let up. I purchased the DVD years ago and the Blu ray is definitely worth the upgrade in picture and audio performance if you have a high def flat screen. Highly recommended.

sparkling Blu ray of classic POW escape adventure

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 24, 2016

Verified Purchase

Classic war film with laconic Sinatra bouncing off stiff upper lipped Trevor Howard in POW escape film using a hijacked train to travel through northern Italy to freedom in Switzerland. If you already have the DVD this Blu ray is a few steps up in picture quality and is probably the best we are going to get considering the condition of the original film elements and source material, it looks good and still filmic, well worth having. Some interesting behind the scenes footage and interviews, there is archive behind the scenes footage of the filming of the climatic shoot out on the mountain train pass, this section of the movie was shot in Spain, El Chorro Canyon and Camino Del Rey in the mountains near Malaga rather than Italy, the POW camp was a large film set built on the backlot at 20th century fox in California, and interestingly it was Sinatra who had heard about the script and called the studio to request to play the part, it was Sinatra's gig but he does a good job and generously shares a lot of screen time with Trevor Howard and the other main characters....recommended, and if you are a fan of the film the blu ray is a must have.

Entertaining film - poor quality blu ray

Entertaining film - poor quality blu ray

From an era when character and story mattered, this is a visceral fight for survival that is done with enough conviction and honesty to just rise above what could otherwise be lame, comic-book stuff. The two leads (Howard and Sinatra) work very well together (see the moment when 'Von' Ryan rounds on the major just after having shot a woman in the back - Howard's facial expression is a treat). What should be noted however, is that the quality of the film is pretty bad, it has patches of severe graininess, mainly in the middle of the movie. Blu ray just makes the damage all the more noticeable.

Fantastic film. The blu-ray transfer is not that great, 'though. Unless this is one of your top 100 (and it should be) stick with the DVD.
