Remarkable candid photos of the cast of The Great Escape letting their hair down at Oktoberfest have come to light 58 years on. <br />
<br />
They have emerged from the archive of the late Hollywood actor James Garner, who played Flight Lieutenant Robert Hendley in the classic 1963 film.<br />
<br />
Garner can be seen swigging a beer from a tankard with cast and crew members including fellow actor Charles Bronson.<br />
<br />
Other photos taken on set show the American actor reading a book about the Third Reich to research the role, and there is a signed picture of him on the back of Steve McQueen's motorbike.
