The Great Escape (2/11) Movie CLIP - The Cooler (1963) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
While spending their punishment in the cooler, Hilts (Steve McQueen) and Ives (Angus Lennie) make more escape plans.

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.

HIT US UP:

[NTAD]

A thing that people sometimes overlook in this scene is even though it's early in the film, you already start to see the hints at Ives' eventual breakdown. The chattiness, the sudden concern when Hilts stops talking, the pacing around and hugging himself. The signs are all there. Angus Lennie was at the top of his game.

[timandshannon]

My mother met the real Cooler King when she was in high school, his advice to her was "Learn everything you can now, because you never know what can save your life." My mom lives that, and made sure we did too. LoL

[eatgreencrayons]

No lie, this is why I studied chemical engineering in college. If it was good enough for Steve McQueen, it's good enough for me.

[optimisticwhovian]

You could've made a movie about these two alone frankly, The Cooler King and the Mole.

[LPMAN]

RIP Steve McQueen (March 24, 1930 – November 7, 1980), aged 50
And
RIP Angus Lennie (April 18, 1930 – September 14, 2014), aged 84
You both will be remembered as legends.

If you've seen any of the women in Hamilton, you'd know exactly why the men fight them off

[MrJimMajor]

The cells of Ives and Hilts are filmed on the same movie set with the same cell door and the same back wall in both cells. If you look closely at the concrete block walls of the two cells you will see the same small imperfections on the two walls because they are the _same wall_ .

[craigharkins]

"are you there hilts?"

where the fuck could he have gone?

[scotsdunc]

RIP Angus Lennie, yet another great talent lost

[CollinZaffke]

In any war you gotta have a Scot as a friend 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[finnmcool]

Poor poor Ives. Even the best of us have a breaking point.

[artschamberg]

Steve was a cycle rider and a good one winning many different types of events. Six day desert trial one of his favorite events. When he died he had more than 60 bikes of different brands. It's widely known he had a passion for machines. His movie big wigs went crazy anytime they learned he was risking broken banged body while under contract with movie people.

[Dremeli]

Steve McQueen wore the coolest(pun intented) leather jacket ever.

[HaydnG]

These 2 were a great pair, just on how different they are. Amazing film!

[curt]

I can't be the only one to think that damn noise of the ball hitting the wall drove Ives crazy.

[ammackay]

3 second pause.. "are you there, Hilts?" 🤷🏼‍♂️😂

[niallmcgregor]

I witnessed 2 birds fighting outside a pub in Hamilton after the races, most vicious thing ive ever scene. Blood, fake eyelashes, hair extensions all over the place. It took 6 policemen to split it up and they both left in separate ambulances.!

[konstantinosnikolakakis]

One thing I noticed here is, Hilts would've probably confused Ives if he said College, because in Britain and other commonwealth countries (I'm from Canada), college and university are two separate things, generally, you finish high school at 16, then if you want, you can go to college, you finish college at 18, after college, you can go to university, typically universities teach subjects, while colleges teach professions.

[lukasmiller]

I can’t be the only one who thinks Ives sounds like Pippin in The Lord of the Rings.

[ReveredDead]

We may never see movies like this ever again. It is quite sad.
