DRAMATIC SCENE in “The Great Escape” in which a harried prisoner of war attempts to escape compound by climbing high barbed wire fence, only to be shot down by German guard (right foreground) being restrained by Steve McQueen, a fellow prisoner. FILMING THE GREAT ESCAPE The challenging factor in the successful photography of this picture was the adverse weather conditions in which much of it was shot. The results prove again that color film, in the hands of a skilled photographer, not only can enhance a factual picture but also make excellent detail obtainable when poor lighting is unexpectedly encountered. By ARTHUR GAVIN WHILE TECHNICIANS prepare set-up for upcoming scene on prison compound location in Germany, Director of Photography Dan Fapp, ASC, rests behind the Mitchell camera. In foreground, looking over the activities is Producer Director John Sturges. 3C6 AMERICAN CINEMATOGRAPHER, JUNE, 1963
