    If that military march from Elmer Bernstein doesn't make you feel patriotic you're not alive. The "Waiting" music in the tunnel is absolutely epic. Shivers.

    Nothing in the comments about where these sets are located. Is there a museum where the "tunnel" is, and how is it accessed ? Would be nice to know for fans who want to recreate the journey.

      Thanks for your comment. When I made the video, there were no plans to put it on TH-cam. You're right, I could revise the description. But I am also happy to answer questions. To your question: no, there is no museum there. The tunnel was built by the city of Füssen as part of a special exhibition to mark the film's 50th anniversary. Unfortunately, that was almost 10 years ago.

    Sad to see that David McCallum has died, great actor. I think John Leyton is the only remaining cast member of The Great Escape left now.

    All three parts of this are brilliant. Is the bike the actual bike that McQueen rode or a replica? Also McQueen's flying jacket, trousers and baseball....all the actual ones?

    • @jimkirk351
      @jimkirk351  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the nice comment! The motorcycle was a replacement machine during filming. McQueen didn't drive it. The jacket and pants are replicas I think. They were exhibited at a special exhibition 10 years ago. The baseball is the real one from McQueen! He personally gave the baseball to the owner of the guesthouse where he slept during filming.

    • @CinemaMusic55

      Thanks for the information on the bike and jacket. It is amazing that the baseball is the actual one from the film.

      Just imagine someone somewhere would have possibly worn the hat and had no idea of the connection. I have a few McQueen interviews on my channel which might interest you if you haven't already heard them before. He didn't give many interviews considering how big a star he was.
