Curiosità

Danger Within is a 1959 British war film directed by Don Chaffey and starring Richard Todd and Bernard Lee. It was written by Bryan Forbes and Frank Harvey, based on the 1952 novel Death in Captivity by Michael Gilbert, who had been a prisoner of war held by the Italians at PG 49 in Fontanellato. A combination of POW escape drama and whodunit, the film set in a prisoner of war camp in Northern Italy during the summer of 1943.

Production

The film was inspired by escape involving producer Colin Lesslie. Richard Todd agreed to make the film in part because he was attracted to true war stories. Todd tried to make a sequel about Lesslie's adventures in Italy but no film resulted.

Locations for the film were Chobham Common, Surrey and Shepperton Studios.
