Right! I was sure someone would guess _ **The Sun Also Rises** _ or another such movie based on the bullfighting reference, which is why I said “not Hemingway.” Houdini (played in the movie by Tony Curtis) was an activist of sorts in combating the influence of Spiritualism, which he knew to be fraudulent… ---

> [@CalMeacham](#): > > There’s no way the escapees would have done a lot of the things they’re shown doing in the film – there was too much risk of retribution. Perhaps not on this occasion, but Roger Bushell, one of the organisers of the escape, had escaped on two previous occasions. While on the run the second time he became involved in the Czech underground movement, shortly before Heydrich was assassinated. After his recapture, almost everyone he had been in contact with in Czechoslovakia were shot. I wonder whether the incident with the French waiters in the film was an oblique reference to those events; almost certainly if that event had ever happened in reality, everyone involved would have been executed. Bushell was almost certainly attempting to cause as much disruption as possible with the mass breakout, possibly under orders from London. ---

> [@eburacum45](#): > > Bushell was almost certainly attempting to cause as much disruption as possible with the mass breakout, possibly under orders from London. That was indeed his intent, as Paul Brickhill points out in his book _The Great Escape_, upon which the movie was based. (Bricxkhill was one of the POWs at Stalag Luft III, but not one of the escapees). My point was that nobody was attacking guards or clotheslining German motorcycle messengers. Outroght violence like that against the Geremans made people notice you, in the first place, and made them want to hurt you if you were caught. And what Steve McQueen’s character did – escaping and then being deliberately recaptured? Madness. Nobody would ask that. They had plenty of sources of information about things on the outside. ---
