Pure Classic - By: Wiggles, 17 Dec 2008 
Another classic film that fails to receive the recognition it so rightly deserves. The fact that its a true story only adds to the unbelievable courage of those prisoners.
Must for those who appreciate classic war films
A wonderful TRUE film! - By: "Smith" Reader, 28 Apr 2007 Gosh the review on for the wooden Horse says that it is based on story book! Nothing coukd be further from the truth.
The Wooden Horse is an amazing true story, one that needs to be known as true. A wonderful film full of action & realism. Plus great acting!
Not a novel - By: England, 05 Jan 2007 The Amazon reviewer calls the Eric Wiliams book 'The Wooden Horse' a novel. Wrong! This escape from Stalag Luft 3 (later the setting for the Great Escape) is a true story. The escape by 3 British officers was made by means of tunnelling under a vaulting horse.
For those who wish to read the story I recommend 'The Wooden Horse' by Eric Williams orin my opinion the better account 'Stolen Journey' by Oliver Philpot. The later is an excellent read. I also recommend this film. Well made & accurate.
