I enjoyed this, especially the beginning when they were setting up James Garner. His discovery of his plight was an interesting twist. One has to ask how hard it would be to pull something like this off with so many cultural tendencies on the part of the playactors. Eva Marie Saint does a kind of Garbo here and is pretty effective. She does go over pretty fast. While I enjoyed this, I have to say that the success of the characters depends on some really monumental stupidity on the parts of the Germans. John Banner is at his best as a predecessor to Sgt. Schultz from Hogan's Heroes. The drawback is the ease with which things play out.
