Watching Von Ryans Express - Great filum

[Erimus74]

My lovely 90 year old neighbours brother in law was inboth VRE & the great escape

In one he was killed, the other he escaped with Charles Bronson

Everybody seems to say that he gets closer to the train every time you watch it...he doesn't...he's miles off

Always said they should have re-made the end and let Frankie catch the train and just put it on TV and not told anyone. Would have been worth it for the surprise.
Suppose you could do the same with Steve McQueen in the Great Escape, he should have got over that fence on his motorbike.

I'm a big Francis Albert fan and he can do no wrong.

Raffaela Carra, the lady who played the woman shot by Ryan as she runs away in her high heels, sadly died only very recently.

I did too when I saw they replaced the straight track that was destroyed by the Boulder fall by a piece of curved track from behind the train.
