82. "Victory" (1981)

<p>Tonight we do the 1981 American sports movie "Victory" (also called "Escape to Victory" in European markets). A powerhouse cast of Sylvester Stallone, Michael Caine, Max von Sydow and Pele take us through the story of Allied POWs who agree to stage a soccer game against Germans. The idea quickly spirals out of control, though, resulting in bigger stakes than they could've imagined... asides include sports movies, Pele's recent death, and the time I faked my way through coaching a season of youth soccer. </p> <p>Drop us a line at <a href= "mailto:worldwartwomovienight@gmail.com">worldwartwomovienight@gmail.com</a></p> <p>Check out our X/Twitter at <a href= "http://twitter.com/WWIIMovie">http://twitter.com/WWIIMovieNight</a></p> <p> </p>
