Escape To Victory
In this film, a group of Nazi officers face a different course during World War II. During this period, these soldiers participated in World War II, but in that period they were able to experience a unique experience. A team of All-Star Nazis will play a team of Allied Prisoners of War in a football game. Everyone seems to be, but they plan to use the game as a way to escape quickly.

Alternately hokey and inspiring.

Huston, showing admirable range in his old age, creates enough on-field magic and nostalgia for the beatiful game as an idyll of now-extinct sportsmanship.

The form of the film is conventional, but the manner in which it has been executed is not.

A frankly oldfashioned World War II morality play, hinging on soccer as a civilized metaphor for the game of War.

A cracking good story and some of the best football action committed to celluloid have made this a Bank Holiday classic.

Unsatisfactory both for fans of star-studded prison escape dramas and for football fans hoping to see cunningly devised tactics from Pele and his squad of internationals.
