    That's a tough one. One thing is for sure, I haven't seen the movie. Any chance to find it on the web?

    'The Purple Plain'(1954) with Gregory Peck is the correct answer ( and also a very good film if you haven't seen it... ;) )

    Can't think of of a hard one at the moment, so here's a very easy question.

    Which actor in the film 'The Great Escape' was in real life a POW of the Germans during WW2
