Another piece of trivia (just learned this last night)...In the movie "The Great Escape", Steve McQueen did all of his own riding and stunts (with the exception of jumping the fence near the end of the movie). He also did the riding in the scenes where the Germans were chasing him on motorcycles. They said he was filmed as Hilts on his shots, park the bike, change into German uniform and then proceed with the shots of McQueen chasing McQueen. Good Stuff!!
