Kodama Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Hello, fellow classic movie lovers, I need some help identifying a movie.. It's a black and white movie about WWII, I've seen it many times on TCM but I don't know the name. One very famous actor was in it, at a young age, though I don't have a name. What I can tell you is this: it was about an infiltration / sabotage of a German base, the good guys managed to blow it up in the end and some of them escaped with a plane. The action took place at a snowy location... If it rings a bell, please tell me a name or any clue!! I would be forever grateful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scsu1975 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Sounds like Where Eagles Dare, but it's in color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ValentineXavier Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 TCM has shown several matching that description. Unfortunately, I can't think of any names at the moment! Well, one of several just came to me: *Commandos Strike at Dawn*, but there are more... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0035746/ Edited by: ValentineXavier on Dec 3, 2012 4:29 AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCM has shown it a few times, most recently just last Nov. 7. Some info about it here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052207/maindetails A plot description is included, and you may be able to learn more about the movie by reading the "user comments" there.

Kodama Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 Nope, it's not that one If you remember any other name or if anyone else has an idea please tell me! (I'm asking about the movie in the original post of this thread, the other one was obviously recognised) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slaytonf Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 How about Captured!, with Leslie Howard and David Niven?: http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/642/Captured-/ It is not an infiltration of a German base, but about prisoners in a POW camp in WWI. However, the prisoners stage an escape at the end and fly off in German planes at a nearby aerodrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
