Von Ryan's Express (1965)

Von Ryan's Express (1965)
Member Rating:  
Von Ryan's Express is a fast-paced, well-acted World War II drama, featuring a squadron of Allied soldiers trying to escape a prison camp in Italy. While most of the prisoners at the camp are British, a determined, resourceful American Air Force colonel (Frank Sinatra) takes charge and leads the escape, which requires that the prisoners wrest control of a German train and propel it through Italy to Switzerland. The subsequent ride, featuring good special effects and outstanding stunt work, is great fun and very suspenseful. Frank Sinatra makes an effective action hero aided by veteran actor Trevor Howard as a British officer. The CinemaScope photography is outstanding and director Mark Robson directs the exciting action sequences with skill. ~ Linda Rasmussen, Rovi

One of the better classic WWII films I've seen lately. A decent script, great cast, good acting by Sinatra and supporting actors and a decent amount of action without being too gory. I hate to give the ending away, but the Germans lose. Ha, ha. Not exactly an action film by today's standards, but I'm sure that it was for its time. Better than most of the garbage that passes as movies these days.
