1. You may want to check out another film ...

The Password Is Courage, made a few years earlier in 1962. The Great Escape borrowed much from this English film except for the relationship humor so marvelously played by Dirk Borgart (which many say also laid the groundwork for TV's Hogan's Heroes.)

More on the film here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056335/

I saw it on TCM a few months ago. Great movie -- definitely worth checking out.
