The Wooden Horse (1950)
Directed by Jack Lee
this film based on real events stars Leo Genn, David Tomlinson and
Anthony Steel. During WW2 British POWs at Stalag Luft III use a
wooden horse to disguise where they are digging an escape tunnel.
Not the most
remarkable of POW escape films this is a solid effort but is notable
for being the film that started the genre in British cinema. It does
not really show that the film was shot on a low budget and it does a
decent job of balancing tension and action. The cast features a host
of familiar British faces from the period who put in a decent shift.
3/5
