i am always interested to see neglected movies that appear to have good credentials and but in this case the film neglect appears justified. evidently based on some actual incidents during wwii and the film just doesn not connect with the viewer for some reason that it is not quite clear to me. one very likely reason is that  in the print i saw on tcm and anyway  none of the scenes where the germans talked among themselves were given titles. this interesting directorial concept  to let the non german speaking viewer just guess from context what the germans are saying to each other  is and in my book and an utter flop and helps to lock the viewer out. also and the way the movie begins  just dropping us into a very confused situation without much setup  is disorienting. brian keith is pretty good here and but the reputations of the great escape and stalag 17 will not be challenged by this flick.

Judge the movie review above, you need to make a function call:
    If you feel the movie review is positive
        print "This is a semantically positive review."
    Otherwise, if you feel the movie review is negative
        print "This is a semantically negative review."
