Additional InformationBilly Wilder's adaptation of the Broadway hit stars William Holden as the cynical Sefton. Set in the eponymous German prison camp during WWII, the director's broad, black comedy focuses on a group of decidedly unheroic prisoners. While they spend most of their time trying to entertain each other with comedy routines and pin-ups, they also occasionally entertain thoughts of escape. But escape is the last thing on the mind of the hard, calculating Sefton, a wheeler-dealer who's salted away a stash of creature comforts which are the envy of the barracks. When a couple of prisoners are killed while attempting to escape, Sefton collects the money he won by betting against their success, and many believe that it was he who informed the Germans. After a new prisoner, Lt. Dunbar (Don Taylor) talks openly about having bombed a German ammo train, he's immediately subjected to a harsh interrogation by sadistic commandant Oberst von Scherbach (Otto Preminger). Their suspicions confirmed, the prisoners take revenge against Sefton. A film whose depiction of American G.I.s as ordinary, even selfish, people probably seemed seemed edgier in the 1950s than it does now, it remains a durable entertainment, with incisive performances by Holden and Preminger.

War film comedy with excellent performances all around won Oscar.
Brilliant comedy about US aircrew POWs around the time of the Battle of the Bulge who have a traitor in their midst. Everyone's suspicions are with the main character Sefton, played by William Holden (the camp wheeler dealer, trader and black marketeer. Holden won an Oscar for Stalag 17. Great character study and superb supporting actors make this a funny and excellent tale of prisoners of war trying to survive the war and possibly escape back to allied lines. 5 stars, loved it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
