Review of Von Ryan's Express (1965) by Timothy M — 11 Jul 2006
Generall good POW film, starring Frannk Sinatra as Ryan, later nicknamed Von Ryan. After escaping Italian POW camp, he and his fellow prisoners must flee to Switzwerland on commandeered train, with the Germans in hot pursuit.
Typical Sinatra "vehicle," forgive the pun, with Frank in his usual-tough-guy-from-Jersey persona. Good supporting roles by Trevor Howard and Edward Mulhare, and filthy conditions and general squalor of the POW camp was done with more realism than other films of this genre.
Good action scenes, thought are bit of a stretch.
