***** Reviews:

-- Forget Indiana Jones. This 1965 high adventure stars Frank Sinatra as
the leader of a mass escape from a World War II POW camp in Italy. That
mission accomplished, Old Blue Eyes has sundry adventures camouflaging the
freed men as German soldiers, trying to fool the Gestapo, and finally doing
battle with enemy planes and ground troops while trying to get a hijacked
train through a blocked tunnel. Sinatra is in great form and director Mark
Robson handles the endless chain of action set-pieces with panache. A great
pulse-quickener. --Tom Keogh

-- "Von Ryan's express" stands out among the most exciting, explosive and
moving of epic war films, not only because its vibrant finale in the middle
of those arresting Swiss landscapes, it also explores, step by step, the
hard lessons in leadership Sinatra's Colonel Ryan must learn in leading
a group of escaped prisoners across enemy-held territory.
...One of the most relevant war films ever made.
