- A good one!I hadn't seen this movie in more than 20 years. It was one of my favorites back then. I'm so glad I got it through Amazon. Unfortunately, they only had it on VHS. But I don't mind, this is one of the best movies on nazi war affairs. A rare combination of funny stuff with more serious war related matters. It kind of reminds me of MASH, but much better. Telly Savalas and Roger Moore are great. It definitely brought back good memories from my youth.

- So the 70s was the last great age of movie-making, huh? Escape to Athena is another nail in the theory that the 70s was a golden age of movie-making.

- One of the Best War Movies Ever (and a Rare One!)OK, so not everyone has seen this movie in their lives, but this is a rare-see for cable TV viewers. Featuring Telly Savalas from "Kojak", this is one of ITC's best movies ever made -- but whatever happened to the studios after 1992? Don't they have it on DVD yet??
