Great movie! Better then what we have today in 2023. Better story, better writing, better acting...I subscribed!

In an understated way, "Albert, RN" shows well in the company of more well-known Hollywood films such as "Stalag 17" and "The Great Escape". No big stars here, but an accomplished gathering of British and Canadian supporting actors and production team which makes this an excellent film and study of POWs surviving interment. Thanks much for bringing this gem to my attention and enjoyment. Good show!

You must be 'of a certain age' I imagine. I am 78 and worked briefly (camera, film night shoot) on 'Dixon of Dock Green'. Ouch!

It is astounding what Allied POW'S got up to in German prison camps during the war - this story is just one of countless brilliant escape stories that actually happened. Viewers should read the two book story of the infamous Colditz castle prison camp, where the Germans put all the "bad boys", those officers who repeatedly attempted to escape. What those truly ingenious men got up to is absolutely breathtaking and well worth reading. Unbelievably, they even built a glider to fly off the high roofs of the castle !!! "The Colditz Story" and "The Latter Days at Colditz" were written by Pat Reid, he himself one of those men who actually managed to escape from the allegedly "escape proof" castle and return home to England.

Thanks for the upload

Missing a few scenes about the escape, meeting with the families and a coded letter to the POW camp... Good movie.

Fantastic show. Thank you.😊😊

Classic film

That looks like a pretty good place!

ALNERT R.N. is the film’s original title and was later released under the title BACK TO FREEDOM.

Robert Beatty was also in ‘Where Eagles Dare.’

At the end, the escaping POW not only took Schultz's stolen chronometer, but he also took his luger. When the body is found with the gun missing, Germans will suspect foul play. The gun should've been put back in its holster and instead any money taken from his wallet to buy food etc...

@None-zc5vg

10 күн бұрын

Maybe the escapee saw that Schultz's body had been badly disfigured by the explosion and didn't expect whoever found it would bother about a missing Luger (which wouldn't have been a good thing to carry around during the escape should he have been recaptured).

We made film. We have to remember the tens of thousands of men made to work in Silesian coal mines while there officers were trying to escape from Oflags.

Based on a stage-play (as was "Stalag 17")

You’d think the lights would be extinguished anyway, during a raid?

I like many others absolutely detest the so-called 'colourisation' (note the correct English language spelling) of these classic British films - A great story, great cast and a wonderful production; the film Best viewed in the manner is was intended, in monochrome. (also ready available on KZread)

When the POW's leave the camp for the second time when Anthony Steele is going to escape Albert goes out the camp. Surely he should have been hidden as he would have been counted. I think that was error .

Unless I am mistaken, the second time Albert was used outside the canp during Anthony Steele's escape, the prisoners were marching BACK to camp, not FROM it to the bath house - which was logical. Albert was therefore not counted on the way out, as you implied, but only on the return march.

A lot of those guys look too old to be on active service.

2:11 attention to detail : the Kübelwagen carries a WM numberplate, it belongs to the Kriegsmarine, German navy.

Excellent film

Small point. Where did they get all those show costumes from?

"I'm a Texan, you can't fence them in!". Hilarious, the British concept of an American, especially a Texan. I guess to the writers that's how we (Texans) all seem to act. Not really.

I guess the American (Naval Airforce) was added to the cast of characters in the hope of attracting a Yank audience. Walter Gotell, playing the German Feldwebel, had roles in 7 of the James Bond films

I'm not generally a fan of war movies but this is an exception as it is so outstanding. Plus the fact that it's based on a true story makes it all the more interesting. A lot of old b&w movies seem to be getting this treatment lately. I have mixed feelings. Often, like here, the result looks like an early colour film that has gently degraded. That does add to the feeling of age. Let's hope that worldwide wars are a thing of the past too.

He probably didn't mind having the steady employment that came his way. Even the Viennese-Jewish film director Otto Preminger played a camp-commandant in "Stalag 17": maybe "real" Germans were unavailable for such roles in the early '50s.

always amazes me in these old films when anyone British speaks as if they have been to Eaton. the war was fought with men and women from the Midlands, the North of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland ( Eire too!) why were they afraid to show regional accents?

Black and white versions are better: they lend a little more seriousness’ to the story and as it is with all the mutual respect between ´friends and foes’ it’s beginning to look like Butlin’s with Jacko warming up for « Holiday Camp »…when the war is over 😇! As for the Texan, big head as he is didn’t he ever question his very clothes for his rôle? As someone just released from special punishment for whatever, his clothes look as though they’ve just been collected from the dry-cleaners. Oh for someone watching this film to know or have known Allied prisoners of war military or civilian, men or women, held in the hands of the Japanese! What they would have to tell would wipe the grimaces off the faces of this lot!

It may be a lesser Lewis Gilbert-directed war movie, but its quite entertaining. It does also have its funny moments, not least of which is William Sylvester`s awful Texas accent, quite the worst attempt at an American accent I can recall hearing.

Colorized is not color. Leave it in beautiful black and white.

This colourisation thing is rubbish. It simply doesn't work as it keeps changing and the limited colours used bleed into each other. Far better in black and white.

It passes the time. I wouldn't tell anyone not to watch it, but there are better WW2 movies. The POW camp depicted seems too comfortable, and the end to the film seems too contrived. Not a bad film but not great either.
