Another movie I'd been meaning to mention, and since this is "PoW stuff" after all, is "The One That Got Away" starring Hardy Kruger. Seen it? That would be a good candidate for a remake, I think.
And I don't know whether I already mentioned the fact that part of another b/w escape classic, "One of Our Aircraft is Missing" was filmed near here, on the river in Boston. In it you can see the top of Boston "Stump" (the tower of St Botolph's Church). It's very like the Netherlands landscape here, so was used for filming that sequence. The "Stump" is visible for miles around.
