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

Circa 1862 a group of Union Army volunteers went to hijack a locomotive in Tennessee and drive it north to sabotage the Confederacy which had much less railroad equipment. These volunteers did not succeed, those who did not escape were executed. Around 1927 this historical incident was used for the silent film "The General". 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

Perhaps his singing or his "friends" detracted from his filmwork,but most of it was first ... Read More
