The Escapees [Blu-ray] [1981]

Product Information

The escape enraged the Germans and a directive was issued by Hitler to shoot all of the recaptured men. In the end 50 were killed, an act that horrified the Luftwaffe. What stands out throughout the film was that she was very much aware that she had lost something, that something wasn't right. You could see that from the very beginning. And what it comes down to is: Is it time to leave? (As opposed to: can I leave?)

Robitel originally planned the film to end with one of the survivors returning home but decided to change the ending to make the antagonists appear more menacing in anticipation of the sequel. [10] Release [ edit ]

And it’s still there [shows image], at the front here is the court house, it’s been modernised a bit, but that’s the old civil prison at Görlitz through this archway here. The 19, I said, were transferred to the civil prison at Görlitz, on the same day von Lindeiner, the camp Commandant, made a request to Breslau Kripo to have the prisoners returned to the camp. This was refused. Kripo state they could no longer accept his instructions as he had been relieved of his command. Over the following days another 16 recaptured escapers were taken to Görlitz prison, bringing the total recaptured escapers to 35. A lot of the survivors say that they were taken to number 31 Augustastrasse which is still there, and I think it’s quite ironic that above the door there you have, ‘Salva’ sort of basically a welcome. And this is the building itself [shows image], the Gesatpo were housed on first floor of 31 Augustastrasse. The escapees made their way to Sagan railway station but in the darkness they could not find the entrance and precious hours were wasted with many missing their trains. foreign workers from a neighbouring labour camp. Nevertheless, some of them did carry discs. Most of the escapers

until his death. Here’s [shows image] the nationalities of the 50 murdered men. Obviously right across the Dominions, French, Greek, all the Allied forces in a sense, outside I suppose you can say the Americas, are virtually represented there. A memorial to the 50 men was built by Stalag Luft prisoners in July 1944, with the camp Commandant’s permission. Von Lindeiner and various others were charged by the German authorities. Von Lindeiner, it seems, had a years called, ‘fortress confinement’, and after the war he was held by the British for a couple of years, but a lot of the ex-prisoners there did speak up for him and I think the Luftwaffe were quite ashamed of what had happened. The urns containing the ashes of the Airmen were originally entombed here but after the war these are transferred to PoznanAlso, she didn't abandon them to the wolves. Her husband stayed and he has the job and money so serving him with a wake up call, kudos. Better than her going all Andrea Yates. For those who talk about single mothers in parallel to Tara, it's not the same, there's the husband. She left while he was home. She left knowing the kids are safe. She left before her depression and feelings of being overwhelmed put herself AND her kids lives in jeopardy. Additionally, Cornelius Geaney Jr. appears as Zoey's professor while Jessica Sutton portrays her roommate, Allison. Russell Crous portrays Charlie, Jason's assistant; Bart Fouche portrays Gary, Ben's boss; Kenneth Fok portrays Detective Li; and Jamie-Lee Money portrays Rosa, a fake flight attendant who works for Minos. Director Adam Robitel also has a minor role in the film as a character named Gabe.

Consequently, the country was filled with large numbers of foreign workers, slave labourers in addition to prisoners of war and remember that’s not just British and Commonwealth, we’re looking at Russian and French etc.

As she tells Mark about a group of French medieval tapestries she saw in an art book she bought in the center of London, Savage doesn’t even need to cut to a shot of Cooper to tell the audience about the eye roll we know his character is doing. Faced with such disdain and indifference, she walks out. But Savage also falls into the trap of making his movie become the thing it’s supposed to be depicting, and by the time we hit the hour-mark, a viewer might begin to feel almost as weighed down as Tara does. And make no mistake, she is weighed down, probably by depression, although nobody around her can recognize it as such and nobody’s interested in doing anything to constructively help her. Variety and other media in the news stated that Amy Ryan, Vincent D'Onofrio, and 50 Cent had joined the cast of Escape Plan. [14] [15] It was confirmed in mid-April that 50 Cent would play the computer expert who was once incarcerated for cyber crimes helping Breslin's character escape, D'Onofrio would play the deputy director of the high-tech prison, and Ryan would play Stallone's business partner and his potential love interest.

Michelle and Marie (Laurence Dubas and Christiane Coppe) escape from a mental institution. While Michelle is strong and determined to get away, Marie is more emotional and grows very attached to Michelle. A little bit more overview of what’s actually happening in Germany. At the time of the Great Escape there was a certain amount of paranoia amongst the Germans which led to deterioration in the relationship between captor and captive and some of the key points are, the German labour force is depleted by continuous drafts to her armies.Planning the murders, the machinations of these 76 men have got out; they’ve dispersed to all points of the compass. You know, you can think, you’ve got north, south, east and west. The machinations behind the planning of the murders is far too complex to discuss today, but it can be summarised to rather very much an overview. The German authorities did not have a clear picture of the situation until Sunday 26 March; remember the escape took place on Friday 24 when a conference was held at Berchtesgaden. Amongst those present were Hitler, Himmler, Keitel and possibly Ribbentrop and others. Predictably somewhat, Hitler flew into a rage and demanded the death of all the recaptured escapers. Göring, amongst others, counselled against this and after further discussions the number was fixed at 50.
