THE LAST ESCAPE(1969) Original Theatrical Trailer

Stuart Whitman stars in this often overlooked but very enjoyable Word War Two story about a special Allied unit who must infiltrate a Nazi missile base and rescue a German rocket scientist. Whitman portrays American OSS Captain Mitchell, a tough officer who becomes commander of the mission when the unit's leader is killed because of a mistake made by a young and inexperienced British lieutenant. The unit encounters all sorts of obstacles when they discover the German scientist will not defect to the Allied side unless his whole staff and their families are also allowed to come along. After escaping, the group is chased relentlessly by the Nazis who are trying to recapture the scientists, and also by a Russian assault team, who wants the rocket technology for their country. The cast also includes John Collin, Pinkas Braun, Martin Jarvis, Johnny Briggs and Margit Saad.

why don't studio put this great classic on DVD?

[SupportingActor]

It's available on DVD in Japan. It's a region-free version, so it will play anywhere in the world. You can usually find it for sale on EBAY.

I agree on Whitman. He had a voice simular to David Jansen; a smokers voice I would guess. He also starred in a thriller in Africa? This film was made in the 60's and a group of people were stranded in a area controlled by all things, Baboons. If anyone knows the title, please drop a message here. Thanks!

It was called "Sands Of The Kalahari" and was produced by Stanley Baker, who costared with Whitman and Susanna York. Their plane crashed in the desert and they struggled for survival. Sort of the same thing as "Flight Of The Phoenix", but with a woman and more violence.

Last time I comment...promise, but to all those wanting to see it:

I have a Netflix account, and, out of curiosity, I looked this movie up (they tend to have rare films, such as Zulu Dawn and Waterloo). To my surprise, it's available on instant watch!!!

[Nelsanski33]

You don't usually see authentic German Tanks in war movies...of course, that wasn't an authentic Russian tank. Looked like a Centurian? Feel free to correct me.

[Nelsanski33]

You have piqued my interest!
