"The Great Escape by Land, Sea, and Air," directed by Lamont Johnson, is a co-production between Ireland and the UK. The story is set in a German POW camp located in Scotland. Clever Irish spy Jack Connor is sent undercover into the camp because the headquarters suspects that the German prisoners are deliberately instigating riots to divert attention from their planned mass escape. Shortly after entering the camp, Jack finds some clues from the murmurs of a fellow prisoner, but that prisoner is soon strangled. As the investigation deepens, Jack suspects that the submariner commander, Schacht, is the mastermind behind it all. Jack then orchestrates a scheme for the other prisoners to hand over Schacht in exchange for freedom. Unfortunately, his plan spirals out of control, and the German prisoners launch their mass escape. The film concludes dramatically: the German officer Schacht, who masterminded the entire breakout, does not escape, but most of his subordinates manage to flee successfully. Brian Keith delivers a stellar performance as the seemingly drunken yet shrewd spy, and the cat-and-mouse game between him and Helmut Grim’s Schacht is quite engaging.
