The Wooden Horse 1950 [x264-ac3-mkv] (oan)

In The Wooden Horse, Jack Lee brings to the screen one of the most

famous true escape stories of the Second World War. Based on the

Eric Williams novel The Tunnel Escape, it became the blueprint for

several stereotypical adventure films that followed.



It is 1943 in Nazi Germany, and a bunch of Allied POWs in Stalag

Luft III plan to adhere to the directive that it is every POWs duty to

attempt escape. Prisoners Peter (Leo Genn), Phil (David Tomlinson)

and John (Anthony Steel) conceive a daring escape plan derived from

the Trojan horse of Greek mythology; to escape using a gymnastic

vaulting horse to cover their tunnelling activities. They construct a

large wooden vaulting horse, which is placed over the concealed

tunnel entry in full view of the enemy guards daily.



While their fellow inmates exercise, the tunnel diggers are hidden

inside the horse and enter the tunnel, then cover it up at the end of

each day's vaulting. After months of digging and narrow escapes

when the tunnel caves-in or the guards search the camp, the tunnel is

finally ready. The three men remain inside the tunnel until after dark,

before finally breaking through the last few feet of ground to the

surface beyond the fence. Peter and John travel together and are

assisted by the French resistance to reach Denmark, and then on to

Sweden, where they meet up again with the third escapee.* Leo Genn as Peter
