Pleasence was tortured in POW camp Stalag Luft I.
Pleasence played the villain Dr. Michaels in FANTASTIC VOYAGE which also starred Stephen Boyd and Raquel Welch.
Pleasence was the first actor to be seen as Ernst Stavro Blofeld in YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE which starred Sean Connery.

Yup, Donald Pleasence was the real thing. Apparently while filming, Pleasence did try to tell the director where he was going wrong with details about a POW camp, but he said they didn't want to know, so he just shut up & got on with it.
In the Kino thread over at Blu-ray.com, someone asks if The Great Escape is getting the 4K treatment for it's 55 year anniversary (& I'm really not in love with the look of the present Blu-ray), anyway, an interesting answer from Kino:
"It's not with Kino, but has been licenced to a label (one of Criterion, Arrow or Shout)".
It's thought that's it's Criterion.

Donald Pleasence also had a major role in yet another John Carpenter movie, Prince of Darkness.
