Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Stolidly unimaginative World War II prison escape movie, with a dummy used as cover for head counts. The characters are dreadfully stereotypical, with the plot revolving unconvincingly around the fact that Steel, originator of the plan, is reluctant to make the break himself because he's fallen in love with a pen pal and is worried about actually meeting her. But at least the action sticks to the camp and avoids resorting to flashbacks.Author: TM
