Von Ryan’s Express  Starring Frank Sinatra and a host of film stars of the day achieved this films success using (at the time) state of the art special affects using  aeroplanes, trains and tanks. It was shot on location around Northern Italy in Cortina d’Ampezzo and Firenze Santa Maria Novella railway station in Florence.

But, did you know that the railway sequence at the film’s conclusion was filmed in the limestone gorge of El Chorro and the area around the Caminito del Rey?

The voice over for the trailer just makes you want to get out to the cinema!
