The Great Escaper
 

My kind of film!

Inspired by true events, The Great Escaper tells the story of octogenarian Bernard Jordan’s escape from his care home to attend the 70th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings in France.

Too bad no thumbs up button here...sounds like a good flick based on one hellofa story.

I watched the trailer this morning and plan to see it!

It reminds me of an old Kiwi sheep farmer who used to mention the war and fighting the Germans about three times a day for the rest of his life...

He had gone to London to meet up with the last remaining guys of his battalion when he stepped onto the road without looking and got mowed down and killed by a tour bus full of Germans.

The family said of course we are sad he died but we are pleased it's the Germans who finally got him. LOL

Dark... But as always Sir William being hysterical. :D :D :D
