THE TWO-HEADED SPY
Lt. Col. Alexander Scotland OBE Jack Hawkins as Alexander Scotland in "The Two-Headed Spy"  ---------- NB - The movie is supposedly based on the exploits of Lt. Col. Alexander Scotland OBE in WWII posing as a high-ranking German officer. However most facts (if they can be found in this movie) actually occurred between the Boer War and WWI. He served in the German army from 1903 to 1907 During WWII he was commandant of "The London Cage," an MI19 facility that interrogated captured Germans.

The Gene Krupa Story (1959)
Sal Mineo as Gene Krupa I wish someone could tell me why the movie time-frame was moved from the 1920s/30s/40s to the 1950s/60s. Strange!

The Great Escape
Roger Bushell (the real Big X - Stalag Luft 3) Richard Attenborough as Roger Bartlett (Big X) in "The Great Escape" --------------- Roger Bushell (top) seems to be wearing a borrowed jacket. He was sporting a navigator one-wing flash, not pilot wings as in the bottom photo. He was indeed a pilot.
