The Great Escape (6/11) Movie CLIP - How to Get Rid of the Dirt (1963) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Eric (David McCallum) demonstrates his invention to the guys on how to hide the tunnel dirt from the Germans.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
The Great Escape is based on the true story of a group of Allied prisoners of war who managed to escape from an allegedly impenetrable Nazi prison camp during World War II. At the beginning of the film, the Nazis gather all their most devious and troublesome POWs and place them at a new prison camp, which was designed to be impervious to escapes. Immediately, the prisoners develop a scheme where they will leave the camp by building three separate escape tunnels. Richard Attenborough is the British soldier who masterminds the whole plan, and who commands his motley squad--featuring Charles Bronson as a Polish trench-digging expert, James Garner as an American with a talent for theft, Donald Pleasence as a masterful forger, and Steve McQueen as an American rebel--through the construction of the tunnels and, eventually, their escape. An epic adventure film, The Great Escape runs nearly three hours, featuring a rousing Elmer Bernstein score and exciting action sequences -- including a notorious motorcycle chase between McQueen and the Nazis -- the likes of which had never been seen before in Hollywood productions.

RIP David McCallum, he was one of the last few remaining actors from The Great Escape to still be working today as most of the cast passed away more than two to three decades ago. His 90th birthday was also just a couple of days ago

[stevesmith]

"Indecently brilliant" - such a wonderful expression!

[vegetasolo]

Several cast members were actual P.O.W.s during World War II. Donald Pleasence was held in a German camp, Hannes Messemer in a Russian camp and Til Kiwe and Hans Reiser were prisoners of the Americans

[DoctorWho]

I'm pretty sure this is where Stephen King got the idea for Andy's method in Shawshank Redemption

[mediterraneandiet]

Just want to say that Richard Attenborough was a great man who helped so many people in his life.

[roquefortfiles]

One of my all time favorite films. The score!!. OMG. Elmer Bernstein hit a home run

[sharky]

Group Captain Ramsey still wearing his hat and tie whilst gardening in a pow camp 😂 well one has to keep ones dignity old boy 😂

[shuowu]

RIP Ducky aka David

[michaelwhittaker]

at 1.6 look at the genuine look of shock then delight on Richard Attenborough's face ( Bushell ) when his character realizes they have found a solution to the dirt problem - just superb acting they even get the facial scar below Roger Bushell's eye that he got in a skiing accident before the war

[anarchistatheist]

This is one of my favorite movies with the setting of world war two in it's plot. Rest in peace to all thr departed cast and crew.

[tomloft]

David McCallum is one of the last stars of this movie that is still alive.

[barbararey]

This is one of my favorite movies, great actors, director and script.

[sharks]

I'd forgotten how much I loved this film. Haven't see it for about 20 years, when I had it on vhs. I know what I'm now watching tonight! I think I'll even have my dinner in a mess tin while I watch it, for the full experience.

[xHawkx]

RIP David McCallum AKA Lieutenant commander Eric Ashley Pitt. Great actor, one of my favourite in old films. The last of the main cast in this classic.

[chathamabs]

"It's indecently brilliant" Sounds like a 1970s breakfast cereal ad 😂

[nemo]

All that effort when they could've just dug another tunnel and put it in there.

[davidyoutube]

“We can’t destroy the dirt, we can’t eat it” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 don’t know why that line make me laugh

[alexandrebertrand-lafleur]

DUCKY!!!

David McCallum as Eric Ashley-Pitt!

[strangelee]

I dug a small hole in my garden and the amount of soil you end up with is called a 'hill'.
By the time the tunnel was finished the guards must have noticed the men standing on top of 8 foot hills with rakes.

[Jb-qx]

Seems awfully tedious to get rid of that much dirt even when u have 200 men helping
