Von Ryan's Express (1965)

This action yarn about a group of prisoners who escape from an Italian POW camp is made memorable when they take over a German Freight train in their bid for freedom.

Sinatra is splendidly cast as an American colonel, leading English prisoners in their escape. Howard plays an English officer outranked by Sinatra.

There are fine performances, too, from Sergio Fantoni, Edward Mulhare, Raffaella Carra, and Brad Dexter.
