Great Escape on Big Screen

July 19th 2008 05:26
This Sunday the Chauvel Cinema will be screening THE GREAT ESCAPE at 4pm upstairs at the Paddington Town Hall.
If you have never seen this classic on the big screen, you'd be a fool not to get out of the house or pub and head on down to catch Steve McQueen ( not the director of HUNGER fame) but the other great Steve and all his mates as they make their bid for freedom.

Check out our listing every Monday to see what is up and coming for each of the Sunday Classics

See you at the movies

Amazing cast in a true real life saga,

James Cogburn as an Aussie is a nice token casting considering how many Australians escaped that day. Shame I have a previous engagement or i would have been there.
