Terry also does a good job injecting a sense of not only thrills, but also fun.Īll in all, even if it pales in comparison to the escape dramas and thrillers that followed, this was still a good time due to solid performances and good direction.įun fact: The 25th James Bond film, 2021's No Time to Die, shares a title with this film, which was directed by Terence Young, produced by Albert R. Young finally achieves a better job of delivering the action with tons of explosions courtesy of WWII real tanks that blow things up everywhere.

Every single one of them has a conflict of their own, which contributes to their uniqueness in some way.

The good thing about this film is that rather than relying solely on one actor, this one gives the other cast members their opportunities to shine and showcase their talents, as in 'The Great Escape' and 'Fury' many years later. In this case, we are transported to the World War II, where the actor and a group of soldiers captured by the Nazis plan their escape of the POV camp.

Well, I hope you enjoy Victor Mature since the man might stay for a bit longer than I thought he would as he shows his range as an actor, or at least his ability to play almost the same character in different historical situations and periods. Action!: Terence Young - The Many Stages Of A Real 'M'
