A somewhat far-fetched plot spoils what could have otherwise been an excellent movie with Leslie Howard and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. in the leading roles. Cast as prisoners in a German POW camp during World War I, Leslie Howard finds out that his wife of just six days has strayed during his two years of captivity -- with his best friend. The film has many of the themes that later POW moves will be known for -- the duty to escape vs. the duty to keep the men safe; how far the leader will go in "collaboration" with the camp commandant; duty and honor vs. personal desire; the juxtaposition of international law within the insanity of war. Paul Lukas as excellent as the commandant. The setting of World War I is interesting because it allows the portrayal of the officers as decent chaps that went to school together who now just happened to be trying to kill each other. The final flying sequence is authentic and worth the price of admission. Recommended.
