The Great Escape

Many of the scenes in The Great Escape were filmed in and around the town of Fussen.

One of my favourite scenes is where Australian Flying Officer Louis Sedgwick (James Coburn), "the manufacturer", is resting in a café when the local Resistance stages a drive-by assassination of three German generals sitting in a roadside cafe. James Coburn is spirited out of the way by a timely phone call. 



The boys watched the movie before we left on our trip. This is Sam "the Manufacturer" looking over the river.
