Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A Balanced Perspective
This is one of those movies that make you realize there was more than just one side in WWII.
Hardy Krueger plays an excellent role. Remember him from "The Flight of the Phoenix," with Jimmy Stewart? Unlike his character in that movie, he plays a much more flamboyant figure in "The One That Got Away."
In an age where Hollywood glorifies Americans as being the only independent & courageous people on the planet, it is nice to see a little redress. Except for "Letters ... Read More
Rating: - The One That Got Away
Enjoyed the movie (DVD) it very much. Part of history. Great story with an interesting ending.
Rating:  - Reviewing "The One That Got Away"
I enjoyed this movie. Luftwaffe pilot Franz von Werra's escape attemps, while a bit over simplified, appear to be very accurate. The movie ends when von Werra reaches the U.S., even though there was much more to the real story. It's a shame the full details of his return to Germany could have not been included.
Hardy Kruger is excellent in his role as von Werra. The remainder of the cast, both British and Germans, are not remarkable.

Rating: - Erfolgreich entkommen!
Sachliche Darstellung der erfolgreichen Flucht aus Kanada eines deutschen Kampffliegers im 2. Weltkrieg (vorher gescheiterte Versuche aus Kriegsgefangenenlagern in England). Buch desselben Titels auch hoechst empfehlenswert. Diese stammten aus den 50er-Jahren - vor dem heutigen
Verteufelung der Geschlagenen. Weiterer Film ohne (vielen) Deutschenhass:
"Under Ten Flags," Kaperfahrt des Hilfskreuzers Atlantis.
Rating: - A fine WWII prisoner-of-war escape film...even if we're rooting for the German this time
This is one of the better WWII movies about an escape from a prisoner-of-war camp. The story is taut and suspenseful. The odds against success are high but we wind up rooting for the man anyway. The guy is handsome, 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 ... Read More
