About this listen
Actor and comedian Miles Jupp (whose own war movie credits include Napoleon and Rogue Heroes) joins Rob and Duncan to discuss Alec Guinness's Oscar-winning performance in the 1957 classic.
The film was based on a novel by a Pierre Boule (who would go on to write Planet of the Apes) who decided to transpose his experiences at the hands of his fellow Frenchmen into British characters. At the time it had the most expensive set ever built. Director David Lean hadn't even wanted Guinness - Miles shares his own tales of realising he wasn't the first choice for a role. And Rob reveals why the true story behind the film is even more amazing than the film.
