Oh, ok. I was thinking maybe The Bridge Over River Kwai but Mr. 'Did you bring your drinking helmet' (William Holden) has been gone quite some time. Sorry about the distasteful humour, but a cautionary tale for all of us.
I seem to remember there was a Kirk Douglas flick about a group of British officers gallantly making an escape from Nazi prisonership of war, modelled after something that actually took place. But that's all.
Ok, let's knock Paths of Glory on the head and try this one. It was used as an apartment block which was the scene of a gruesome killing in which film?
