In October 70 years ago, Pat Reid, along with four other fellow British Officers, escaped from the notorious German POW camp, Colditz Castle, and made his way to freedom via Switzerland. His subsequent 1952 novel about his time in the camp and his escape became a bestseller and this classic film THE COLDITZ STORY (1955) - forever ensuring the castle’s place in history.
STUDIOCANAL are proud to announce that in honour of the anniversary, we have restored Guy Hamilton's THE COLDITZ STORY and will be releasing on Special Edition DVD and blu-ray, for the first time, on December 10th.
On the disc is a specially-commissioned exclusive new documentary that looks at life inside Colditz and features interviews with the last remaining POW survivors of the camp.
