Yes, another! Another Frank Sinatra movie. I hate to say it but I have had opportunities over the last few weeks to watch another movie and I haven't because I am over watching so many sad, long, dull Frank Sinatra films. Thankfully there is a small light starting to shine at the end of that tunnel. 1. Von Ryan's Express was not that bad. 2. There are only 4 more Frank Sinatra films for a while. I have a few others but I will finally be out of the that collection soon. 3. of the four movies I have seen 2 of them in the past. I liked them in the past. So, hopefully this means that It's not going to be as dreadful as I am thinking it is going to be.
However, let's talk about Von Ryan's Express.
Colonel Ryan is a pilot that was shot down over Italy and taken to a POW Camp. When he arrives to the camp he finds that he is the senior most commander there and takes over the command of the soldiers in the camp. When he finds out that they are wanting to escape the camp, and have been planning to do so, Ryan shuts them down. He tells them that Italy is close to surrendering and doesn't want to make an escape plan. When they do surrender, the guards of the camp flee and Ryan finds that all of the men are now in danger because the Germans are closer to the camp. They leave and make it as far as the countryside when they are captured by the Germans. The questions then becomes, can they escape the Germans and make it freedom?
I am so glad to say that I really did like this movie. I think it was funny, and had a good story. It wasn't boring, it was a little slow but that's about it. I would watch it again. I would also recommend it. I am still glad that Frank Sinatra films are almost done.
