===Writing=== In 1962, the [[Mirisch Company|Mirisch brothers]] worked with [[United Artists]] to adapt [[Paul Brickhill]]'s 1950 book ''[[The Great Escape (book)|The Great Escape]]''. Brickhill had been a very minor member of the X Organisation at [[Stalag Luft III]], who acted as one of the "stooges" who monitored German movements in the camp. The story had been adapted as a live TV production, screened by [[NBC]] as an episode of ''[[The Philco Television Playhouse]]'' on January 27, 1951.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Great Escape |website=IMDb |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0674407/ |access-date=March 8, 2019 |archive-date=April 23, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190423003001/https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0674407/ |url-status=live}}</ref> The live broadcast was praised for engineering an ingenious set design for the live broadcast, including creating the illusion of tunnels.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://archive.org/stream/radioageresearch195052newyrich#page/n103/mode/2up |title=The Great Escape |first=Robert J. |last=Wade |date=April 1951 |volume=10 |number=3 |magazine=Radio Age |pages=16β17}}</ref> The film's screenplay was adapted by [[James Clavell]], [[W.
