sisterskidney Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I am looking for the name of a WWI or WWII movie where a captured soldier was tricked into thinking it was 5 yrs later, so he would give up military secrets. It was filmed in black & white. I don't know who was in the movie, only the plot. Anyone have an idea what the name of this film is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredCDobbs Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I saw the movie on TCM about 1-1/2 years ago. Very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamradio Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Fred, thanks. I deleted my reply but the question originally was, Is there a Twilight Zone or Outer Limits episode that had a similiar plot. Something about the plot in the movie rings a bell but I have not seen the James Garner film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an imagination that Rod Serling had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredCDobbs Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Yes, that was the famous "Mission Accomplished" episode, now lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
