The comedy to beat all comedies. Otto Preminger, Billy Wilder and William Holden. Awesome. Saw it at Aurora Cinema, King's Circle, Mumbai with classmates from Khalsa college. And we found that our college teachers were seated behind us, watching the movie.
The movie bridged the gap between all of us, and we ended up being good friends since then.
Excellent world war 2 movie, takes off on "The Great Escape" and other such movies, but in a serious manner of its own. William Holden, brooding and handsome, stands out in the movie with its entire collection of characters.
Who can forget the guy who takes a brush and bucket of white paint and begins to paint his way to the Russian Women soldiers POW barracks? Or, the use of the "Queen" in the chess game to pass messages?
Get the VCD or DVD. Watch it.
