Hogan's Heroes - The Complete Series
From Amazon.com:
"The inmates of a German World War II Prisoners of War camp conduct
espionage and sabotage campaign right under the noses of their warders. While
the enemy is often gullible, easily fooled or downright incompetent –
the real strength of Hogan’s men are the elaborate ruses and sometimes
dangerous lengths they will go to complete their mission. This Boxset includes
Seasons 1 - 6."

Auto Focus
From Amazon.com:
"Auto Focus captures the scandalous private life of Bob Crane, star of
the German P.O.W. camp sitcom Hogan's Heroes. Greg Kinnear plays the affable
comic actor, who nursed an obsession with sex--pornography, strippers, swinging,
domination, and especially the videotaping of his own sexual exploits. His
behavior led to the downfall of two marriages and enmeshed Crane in a strangely
symbiotic relationship with a video equipment salesman named John Carpenter
(Willem Dafoe); Carpenter provided the technology, and Crane (through the
power of his fame) provided the girls. Their friendship ultimately wore thin
and may have led to Crane's gruesome death. Auto Focus is a lot like an episode
of Behind the Music, but with sex in the place of the usual downfall-causing
drugs; though elegantly filmed, it doesn't delve too deeply into Crane's joy,
and so never gets a genuine feel for his pain either. --Bret Fetzer"

The Great Escape
From Barnes & Noble
Director John Sturges (The Magnificent Seven) pulls out all the stops in
The Great Escape, his classic big-budget World War II POW extravaganza.
The title pretty much says it all: The film tells the true story of some
determined Allied prisoners who manage to tunnel out of a new and presumably
escape-proof camp in which they have all been interred. Sturges lovingly
details every aspect of their elaborate scheme, as the prisoners bring a
host of skills -- engineering, forgery, and even tailoring -- to the job
at hand. There is some rudimentary character development along the way,
but don’t expect detailed, complex glimpses into the inner workings
of these guys’ psyches. The inmates (Steve McQueen, Richard Attenborough,
Charles Bronson, James Garner, and many more) are cleanly drawn as heroic
to a man, and their camaraderie, ingenuity, and courage allows them to pull
off a truly impressive feat. Yes, these are idealized portraits, but immensely
satisfying ones. The structure of The Great Escape evokes a powerful sense
of liberation, as the claustrophobic atmosphere of the first half of the
film gives way to open-air chases in the second half, including McQueen's
famous motorcycle romp through some spectacular wide-screen vistas of the
German countryside, with a battalion of soldiers in hot pursuit. Topping
it all off is a memorable -- and eminently whistle-able -- score from Elmer
Bernstein. The Great Escape is Hollywood entertainment at its finest. Sit
back and enjoy. Gregory Baird
