This year marks the 75th anniversary of the Great Escape so I’ve put together 75 facts about the real Great Escape and the film that made it famous.

[almost-a-class-act]

It's Friday so you know what that means...

This week on Rosie the Reviewer, @fayestardust and I talk about The Great Escape (1963). Steve McQueen reeeeally wanted to do that motorcycle stunt, y'all.

We also talk about the somewhat more harrowing real story of the fifty Allied airmen executed by the Gestapo, in an incident that would result in a special investigative inquiry at the Nuremberg trials.
