Patrick!,
Yes, this is good one. I like war escape movies very much-"Stalag 17" is a good one and "The Great Escape"although by no means perfect, is still well done and fun.
It has been 35 years since I saw, "Un condamné à mort s'est échappé ou Le vent souffle où il veut" ("A Man Escaped or: The Wind Blows Where It Pleases"). This was shown together at a theatre in London with, appropriately, "The Phantom of Liberty".
"Un condamné" is in a league of it's own for WWII escape movies- pychycologically more like a converse "Le comte de Monte Cristo" ("The Count of Monte Cristo") and very good photography. And quite nicely gritty/real in the way of another fun WWII movie, "The Train".
Cheers,
