A film inspired by a real case of an escape from a French tough of a Nazi prison during World War II. The film is very realistic in the way this story shows us, quite differently from the American style of the prison dramas we are used to seeing. Following a somewhat slow but accurate rhythm the film is always growing and ends up undoubtedly catching us completely. Very good movie, although a little under the best French prison film I ever saw and that was Jacques Becker's "Le Trou", 1960, a film I only saw once for many years but it was always in my memory.
