Grand Illusion

Didn't think this impossiable for a picture from the 1930s, but it was funny, not look how crap this is funny, but has humour in it. I think this is "The Great Escape" picture of it's time. It has love, friendship, suspence, humour and adventure.

Besides that, take a look at movement of the camera. it hardly cuts at the start. The camera flows witht he action, keeping it very realistic. Unlike today, with quick cuts and fancy moves. the beauty of not cutting away and keeping up with the one shots is very hard to do. and the director does this brilliantly. Not taking away from the moive. While the actors seem to work of this style very well.
