Question that some-one who has the movie may be able to answer.
I saw the movie in ?1964 in France, dubbed into French with the title 'Le Grand Evasion'.
Towards the end of the movie one of the POW escapees is about to board a bus when he gets stopped and his papers examined by the Gestapo.
The Gestapo bloke smiles, hands back the escapee's papers and says - in English - 'have a good trip' (or similar).
The escapee replies, in English. 'thanks very much' - followed by a look of horror realising he's been exposed as an English escapee.
Well, the scene worked very well in the dubbed French version, 'cos the short conversation was in English and stood out like a sore thumb.
What I haven't worked out is how this scene played when all the dialogue was English.
The question's only been bothering me for 37 years - so any enlightenment would be appreciated.

It wasn't. IIRC the Gestapo officer speaks to Cowley (from the Professionals 
) in German when asking for the papers, etc. (All the prisoners had been learning fluent German, and Cowley had kept telling them not to slip into this trap when they hear English spoken). Then the Gestapo bloke says 'Have a good trip' and Cowley says 'Thank you very much'.
Actually, before anyone starts I know the bloke was really called Gordon Jackson

Does anyone remember what the Russian for "I love you" is? Remember the scene - Lee Marvin jumping in the queue of workers to march out of the camp and asking (I think) Charles Bronson what Russian he knew
