This movie is just one of those evergreens that people will watch and enjoy forever. It just is. Steve McQueen is just great as that dude who spend a lot of time locked up playing baseball with himself. But really, Donald Pleasance, James Coburn, Charles Bronson, Richard Attenborough etc etc with all those great stars you'd think you'd have critical mass but no. All play their roles brillantly without egos getting in the way. Just one of the all time most watchable fims. One of the first DVDs I owned, still a favourite.
