The Real Great Escape – Codename Tom, Dick & Harry
Archaeologists and veterans hunt for the tunnel the Germans never found, and reveal the epic scale of the POWs underground exploits.
On the 24th March 1944 the most famous prisoner of war escape in history took place. It was immortalised in the classic film The Great Escape, yet the real story of the mass breakout from Stalag Luft III is stranger than fiction, it was an incredible operation involving hundreds of Allied prisoners digging three huge tunnels right under the noses of their German guards. But what started off as an adventure would end in tragedy, and the rules of the game would be changed forever.
This is the story of The Real Great Escape.

Japan in the seventies (2) 70年代の日本
Second and final part of an educational film for American school children forty years ago. I get many comments on the bath scene. When I was in Japan in the late fifties Japanese used to wash themselves with soap outside a bathtub. The water in the tub was awefully hot. One had to sink in it very slowly. The whole family used to relax one after another in that same tub! I took once such a bath in a small village and the whole population ran out to see me taking such a bath out in a shed with open door ! A viewer adds:
3:26 View from Tokyo Tower. 7:57 to 8:23 This is probably the view from the observation restaurant in Tokyo Kotsu Kaikan. 7:57 Yurakucho Denki Building. 8:07 Shinkansen passes by Yurakucho Station and heads for Tokyo Station. 8:12 Nishi Ginza Junction. 9:07 to 9:14 It seems to have been taken at a high place near the Toshiba head office. 9:36 View from Akasaka to Aoyama. 9:42 Akasakamitsuke crossing. 9:51 Shiba Park Baseball Stadium and World Trade Center Building.

Los Angeles in the 50s
Motoring through LA in the early 1950s one's shocked to see freeways that are wide open, streetcars, even Model A Fords still on the streets, a bustling downtown and the first malls, a Ford and Chevrolet Factory and it all looks so clean.

Ring of Spies 1964 British Spy Film Bernard Lee, William Sylvester and Margaret Tyzack
Ring of Spies (also known as Ring of Treason is a 1964 British spy film directed by Robert Tronson and starring Bernard Lee, William Sylvester and Margaret Tyzack. It is based on the real-life case of the Portland Spy Ring, whose activities prompted Reds under the bed scare stories in the British popular press in the early 1960s.
Plot
Harry Houghton, a dissatisfied and alcoholic embassy attaché, disgraces himself at an official garden party in Warsaw, Poland. Knowing he is to be disciplined the following day, he says goodbye to his girlfriend, who reports back to the Russian embassy about his inevitable return to England. Despite a poor report from his previous superiors, Houghton is posted to the top secret Admiralty Underwater Weapons Establishment at Portland, a Royal Navy equipment testing facility. Houghton is soon approached by secret Soviet intelligence to hand over documents to them, as he apparently had in Warsaw, with the veiled threat of blackmail. He agrees to do so, but for pay. He begins an affair with a fellow records clerk, Bunty Gee. Gee has access to more important secret documents, and is groomed by Houghton and his new handler Alex (Gordon Lonsdale). Together, the couple begin to procure top secret documents for Soviet intelligence for money. When a fellow officer at the base receives poison pen letters, the shortlist of possible suspects includes Houghton. As a matter of routine, Houghton is followed by the security services, who find his high-spending habits suspicious.
