The One That Got Away (1957)

Michael Goodliffe: R.A.F. Interrogator

Quotes 

• Franz von Werra : Now shall I go to a prison camp?

  RAF Interrogator : You ask that question too often. You're not going to escape.

  Franz von Werra : Squadron Leader, I bet you a magnum of Champagne to ten cigarettes I do escape - within six months.

• Army Interrogator : [Talking on phone about von Werra]  All the routine jargon, of course, but he doesn't believe a word of it. It just happens to suit his own book.

  RAF Interrogator : [Voice on phone]  Is he a keen party member?

  Army Interrogator : No, sir, the only thing von Werra believes in is von Werra, a mixture of bombast and sheer nerve.

• R.A.F. Intelligence Officer : This movement of prisoners to Canada, sir. POW Administration have asked for a list of any you'd like to keep here for further interrogation.

  RAF Interrogator : Who were you thinking of?

  R.A.F. Intelligence Officer : Well, what about von Werra, sir?

  RAF Interrogator : Oh. Oh, I wouldn't want to deprive him of a nice healthy sea voyage. In fact, I'd recommend a special escort for von Werra to make quite certain he gets there.
