Review of Von Ryan's Express (1965) by Tommy H — 31 Mar 2015

Pretty good adventure movie about a bunch of guys on a train escaping from Nazi Germany to Switzerland. The first part takes place in a prison camp. There's a few comical scenes with Sinatra pulling stunts to get his own way.

Here you get to see that everyone has a close bond. The prisoners and guards are even a little playful with each other. A big part of the movie they're on the train and the movie gets a little boring, but there's some entertaining dialogue and a few tense moments to keep you interested.

If you're looking for action there's not much here until towards the end. More a drama movie than action.
