The Great Escape (2/11) Movie CLIP - The Cooler (1963) HD

[@NTAD]

A thing that people sometimes overlook in this scene is even though it's early in the film, you already start to see the hints at Ives' eventual breakdown. The chattiness, the sudden concern when Hilts stops talking, the pacing around and hugging himself. The signs are all there. Angus Lennie was at the top of his game.

[@jasonflay8818]

That's a great analysis. I never connected the two I always interpreted it as his character was a little bit of a sycophant in awe of a cool American officer, but I see what you mean.

[@stevekaczynski3793]

I assumed it was cold in the cell and that was why he was hugging himself, but Hilts does not, and yes, there are signs that Ives is going stir crazy. He is a little desperate to talk to Hilts and I suspect if he was cut off from all human contact his condition would have gone downhill even faster.

[@eatgreencrayons]

No lie, this is why I studied chemical engineering in college. If it was good enough for Steve McQueen, it's good enough for me.

[@eatgreencrayons]

@@TheFacefinder No bombs, though I briefly considered going into optical engineering and was told that if I did my masters in the program I would be wined and dined by a certain company, let's call them "Blatheon", and would presumably have worked on their guidance systems. Instead I decided to go for a PhD in Pharmaceutical Science. Sometimes it makes me miss my plant design class, and I know how fraught the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries can be, but honestly, this is the place where I can do the most good by actually helping to develop treatments. Access to those treatments is something that has to be addressed on the political side, but at least I can help with the science and engineering.

[@garlandremingtoniii4679]

Are you seriously serious??? You went to college and majored in chemical engineering all because of watching Steve McQueen portray an American POW living inside German POW camps

[@timandshannon03]

My mother met the real Cooler King when she was in high school, his advice to her was "Learn everything you can now, because you never know what can save your life." My mom lives that, and made sure we did too. LoL

[@MrJimMajor]

The cells of Ives and Hilts are filmed on the same movie set with the same cell door and the same back wall in both cells. If you look closely at the concrete block walls of the two cells you will see the same small imperfections on the two walls because they are the _same wall_ .

[@artschamberg4470]

Steve was a cycle rider and a good one winning many different types of events. Six day desert trial one of his favorite events. When he died he had more than 60 bikes of different brands. It's widely known he had a passion for machines. His movie big wigs went crazy anytime they learned he was risking broken banged body while under contract with movie people.

Wtf

[@konstantinosnikolakakis8125]

One thing I noticed here is, Hilts would've probably confused Ives if he said College, because in Britain and other commonwealth countries (I'm from Canada), college and university are two separate things, generally, you finish high school at 16, then if you want, you can go to college, you finish college at 18, after college, you can go to university, typically universities teach subjects, while colleges teach professions.

[@21chch]

Konstantinos Nikolakakis no way. I’m from Australia. I always got that confused. I thought college WAS uni. Why does everyone ‘go away’ to college if they’re only 16.. and a lot ‘drop out’.. no one would ever do that in Australia at such a young age.. and we can drink at 18..
