ESCAPE TO VICTORY (full review at Screen Realm)

Escape To Victory (or simply Victory if you are more familiar with the prosaic US and Australian title) is a 1981 World War II / sports movie meld from legendary director John Huston. Or to put it another way, Escape To Victory is the greatest sports movie ever made.

Loosely based on a 1962 Hungarian film by the name of Two Half-Times in Hell (Két félidő a pokolban) aka The Last Goal, the story has its roots in a remarkable real-life series of games known as The Game of Death aka The Death Match, which took place in 1941 and saw F.C. Dynamo Kiev trounce a team of Nazis.
