Part 1 of this two-part made-for-TV movie is a retelling of the original motion picture The Great Escape from 1963, which is based on an event that actually occurred. 200 Allied aircrew members attempted to escape from Stalag Luft III (Kriegsgefangenen Stammlager der Luftwaffe 3 Sagan) in Sagan, Germany (now Zagan, Poland). In that part of the story, as portrayed in the motion picture and in this production, only 76 of the 200 PWs made it out of the camp before the escape was discovered by the camp guards. Eventually, all but three of the escapees were recaptured. Seeking to set an example, Hitler ordered the Gestapo to execute two-thirds (50) of the recaptured prisoners. In Part 2, after the end of the war, two of the original 76 escapees who made it out at first, gather a group of Allied personnel and begin hunting the Gestapo officers who planned and carried out the murders of their friends and fellow PWs.

More factual than given credit for

Many of the names, such as Reeve's John Dodge and MacShane's Roger Bushnell were actual characters. (And yes, Dodge *was* related to Churchill!) If you've read the book, then you know there is a great deal of fact in this telefilm.
True, there's no romance in the novel, but as Hitchcock said, "It's only a mo-vie." And instead of the master assassin being killed, he was taken to trial. But overall, if you manage to see this in its entirety, you should enjoy it. (Well, you know what I mean.
What makes this even more interesting is the presence of Donald Pleasance, one of the stars of the 1963. Plus, Jud Taylor, who directed Part 2, was also in the film.

After waiting 14 days I decided to enquire by email when my DVD would arrive

After waiting 14 days I decided to enquire by email when my DVD would arrive. I received an email back stating I had purchased it via download and had been sent an and had been sent a link, so I checked my emails lo and behold there was one there with a link in it but the link didn’t work, even though the invoice states when I made payment and ordered the movie it was fora DVD. So here we are still waiting for my DVD. I have received no communication back since the inquiry other than I made the mistake. Then I received an email to give a review while I can tell you what it’s not Sterling. I do not recommend buying any movie from this online store.

A good DVD but episodes out of order.

A good DVD, but the episodes were misnumbered and out of order. Not a problem once the viewer realises and watches episodes in correct order.
