RE: underground escape films: One of the more interesting, and authentic, is THE TUNNEL, a CBS(?) documentary from the 1960s. Piers Anderton(?sp) was the correspondent. They filmed the digging of a tunnel from East to West Berlin, as I recall, and the escape of a number of E. German residents. I imagine a good history of the documentary would have a description; try Wm. Bluem's DOCUMENTARY IN AMERICAN TELEVISION (my copy's in storage). P.J.
