Talk:The Great Escaper

Michael Caine's final film
Fixed the text that said it was Michael Caine's final film during his lifetime. He's (at least at the time I write this) very much alive and kicking. It was the late great Glenda Jackson's final film during her lifetime. 2404:440E:2A33:6A00:E453:7060:FA48:F0C8 (talk) 02:36, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

How accurate is it?
Obviously, Bernard "escaped" and travelled to France, along with the accompanying media frenzy on the way back, but did he meet an alcoholic airman and German soldiers? 90.243.101.191 (talk) 22:15, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I very much doubt it. And presumably all the dialogue between the two leads had to be imagined as well. But it's a much better film that it would have been if it had stuck rigidly to the known facts. JH (talk page) 17:30, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

Cast
I wanted to add the name of the actor who plays Douglas to the cast list, as it's an important role. But even IMDb doesn't give it. JH (talk page) 17:34, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
