Description:
When U.S. combat pilot Col. Joseph Ryan (Frank Sinatra) is captured by Nazis, he does what it takes to survive prison camp, including, by all appearances, befriend the enemy. Hence, his prison mates give Ryan the insulting nickname 'Von Ryan.' But in time, Ryan takes over from the commanding British officer (Trevor Howard) and masterminds commandeering a train to Switzerland ? with the Nazis in hot pursuit. It's all blazing action, hair-raising chases and spectacular Italian scenery in this Oscar(r) nominated* adventure that will blast you full speed ahead until its nail-biting finale!

Forget Indiana Jones. This 1965 high adventure stars Frank Sinatra as the leader of a mass escape from a World War II POW camp in Italy. That mission accomplished, Old Blue Eyes has sundry adventures camouflaging the freed men as German soldiers, trying to fool the Gestapo, and finally doing battle with enemy planes and ground troops while trying to get a hijacked train through a blocked tunnel. Sinatra is in great form and director Mark Robson handles the endless chain of action set-pieces with panache. A great pulse-quickener. --Tom Keogh

This 1965 film used the story of a hijacked train as the basis for a revisionist WW II drama. It used the outlook of the 1960s to recreate a 1940s story. How well does it work? ... Read More

Once the viewer has gotten past the fact that his movie is not based on fact, but fiction, then it's clear sailing for two hours of first rate entertainment. It's really a timeless picture, adaptable to all ages, with a simple plot, which may be responsible for multiple viewings 43 years after its release. Sinatra was a very underrated actor-"From Here to Eternity", 'The Manchurian Candidate", this film, et al. Perhaps his singing or his "friends" detracted from his filmwork, but most of it was first ... Read More

"Von Ryan's express" still stands out among the most exciting, explosive and moving epic war films ever, not only because its vibrant final in the middle of those arresting Swiss landscapes, besides it explores step by step a lesson of leadership since the Colonel Ryan must assume by range the entire command of this group of prisoners and face against all the obstacles all the way through.
In order to get the freedom, this bunch of brave men will have the best they can, from their particular ... Read More
