Compare Prices on The One That Got Away
This is one of the better WWII movies about an sprint from a prisoner-of-war camp. The anecdote is taut and suspenseful. The odds against success are high but we wind up rooting for the man anyway. The guy is pretty, competent, resourceful and self-confident to the point of smugness. No, the guy isn’t played by Steve McQueen. There is no ball-bouncing in a prison cell. The man is Oberleutnant Franz von Werra, played by the German actor Hardy Kruger. Von Werra’s Messerschmitt is shot down over England on September 5, 1940. He is captured, interrogated and sent to a prisoner of war camp for officers. He turned out to be the only German captured on British soil who ever escaped and made it serve to Germany. Please ticket that elements of the state are discussed.

Von Werra turns out to be a committed German officer, distinct to speed, and with enough drive, ingenuity and luck to sprint from British camps three times. The first time sees him staggering for five days through mud and freezing rain to try to arrive a British port and a neutral ship. When he’s finally recaptured he’s half insensible. The British send him to a grand tougher camp in the north. This time he organizes a tunnel dig, figures out how to invent fallacious identity discs and how to convert rag-tag clothing into something passably civilian. On this smash von Werra manages to talk himself onto a RAF disagreeable posing as a Dutch pilot. He’s captured while seated in the cockpit of a Hurricane trying to secure it started. He planned to coast assist to Germany. Now the British ship him off to a prisoner-of-war camp in Canada. They figure that’ll hold the starch out of his determination to return to Germany. They didn’t figure that von Werra would realize the significance of the United States being a neutral country and how finish the teach taking him to the camp would be to the Saint Lawrence River border. Determined enough, in the monotonous frosty of a Canadian winter (January, 1941), he escapes from the boom, works his arrangement through the snow and freezing drizzle to the mostly frozen river. He finds a boat and finally is picked up on the American side. Our movie ends here, with a spacious smile on von Werra’s frozen face and mumbled “thank yous” to the American border guard who found him.
Through all of this the escapes are carefully shown with a lot of dramatic tension. You can’t wait on but wind up hoping von Werra’s persistence will pay off. Sparkling he’s an interested German pilot, a fighter ace, who is alive to to rep encourage to the battles takes a shrimp of the edge off, but aloof…

The One That Got Away is filmed in murky and white. There are no sweeping, attractive shots of the countryside. We’re talking tedious tumble and winter in Britain and Canada. It’s chilly and grey. If it’s not snowing, it’s raining. If it’s not raining, it’s drizzling. If it’s not drizzling it’s detached so frigid you’ll want a fire going during the day. The acting is as wintry and competent as the movie.
And what about von Werra after he made it to America? The Canadians tried to win him succor. The Americans wanted to send him help. While everyone was arguing his state, von Werra slipped across the U. S. border into Mexico, then made his map assist to Germany by plot of Peru, Bolivia, Brazil and Spain. He arrived in Berlin on April 18, 1941. He was assigned to sail on the Eastern front, became an ace again, then was sent with his unit to the Netherlands for rest and refitting. On October 21, 1941, his plane malfunctioned during a training flight and went down in the sea. His body was never recovered. Franz von Werra’s luck had finally urge out.
The Place 2 DVD, available from AmazonUK, has no extras but the film transfer looks fine.
Hardy Kruger gives an outstanding portrayal of a WWII German Aviator captured and distinct to sprint by any means.
The intensity of Kruger’s inconvenience to dash makes this one of the best movies of its kind. Lawful up there with “The Astronomical Hasten”
