   The Wooden Horse is one of the quietest films I have ever watched. There are no great dramatic moments, but a steady storyline eventually builds to a climax that has more tension because the story doesn't give way for unlikely drama, jump cuts or jacked up (somethings about to happen!) music.

   Review by williamfaeleith ★★★½. Another old favourite that was on TV today. A typical but superior British WWII escape from a German Prisoner of War camp film. This time cunningly using a wooden vaulting horse so they could start the tunnel closer to the camp boundary.

   Is the wooden horse a good movie?

   • The Wooden Horse is a very clever movie about a very clever and successful escape plan worked out by British POW's during World War II. It is superbly acted with a wry sense of humor, especially the lines expressed by the acid-tongues Leo Genn. Anthony Steele and David Tomlinson (later George Banks in Mary Poppins) are marvelous as the two heroes.

   Is the wooden horse better than the Great Escape?

   • However, The Wooden Horse will always be compared to The Great Escape, and this doesn't help The Wooden Horse. The Great Escape has more action, bigger names, the coolness of Steve McQueen and is based on a true story and has better production values.

   Who is a good character in 'the wooden horse'?

   • Anthony Steel, as John, also gives a good performance. Younger than Genn's Peter, Steel is the one who comes up with the wooden horse idea, and is constantly pushing to get out. He's the young bull who says 'lets dash down!' while Peter is the old bull who says 'lets stroll down'.

   One British officer has the idea of starting a daily gymnastics routine using a vaulting horse: they can place it near the boundary and start a tunnel from under it. He and two others do escape the camp by this means and plan to make for neutral Sweden.
