Quite easily a front runner for the title of best POW movie ever made, “Stalag 17″ is expertly directed by Billy Wilder to provide humour, drama, satire and sadness….and William Holden in his Oscar winning performance as the cynical POW sergeant, Sefton, makes this movie a class act from inaugurate to execute!

American POW’s under the watchful survey of camp commander Von Scherbach (Otto Preminger at his nefarious best) are suspicious of a traitor in their ranks…hurry plans are going horribly contemptible…lives are being lost….and the finger of guilt point’s to the crafty, opportunistic Sefton. William Holden was well deserving of the 1953 Best Actor Oscar as the somewhat unlikeable and temperamental Sefton. Taking advantage of his fellow POW’s and filling his footlocker with contrband purchased from the income off his “racetrack”, “moonshine” and “telescope” rackets, Sefton then suddenly finding himself the victim of circumstance and his beget cynical nature. Holden took on a particularly difficult role, as Sefton is definitely not what you would call a likeable character…only looking out for his gain welfare, negative of his fellow prisoners rush attempts and enthusiastic to choose up an extra dollar any plot he can from other prisoners. The character of Sergeant Sefton is arguably one of the first anti-hero’s of film drama. Sparkling help is provided in the film by the hilarious laughable talents of Robert Strauss & Harvey Lembeck (Animal & Harry Shapiro) …unprejudiced care for that dreamy Betty Grable dance sequence…plus the dazzling character actor, Sig Ruman is very humorous as chess playing German guard, Schulz.
A quite youthful Peter Graves plays security officer “Trace”, Gil Stratton narrates the anecdote as the meek “Cookie”…Sefton’s right sidekick…..and actors Richard Erdman & Neville Imprint are solid as “Hoffy” & “Duke”, the two leaders of the POW barracks.

“Stalag 17″ is thoroughly delicious on so many levels due to the beautiful balance of performances between the cast members and the equilibrium between tension and humour that Wilder maintains throughout this memorable movie….
I’ve noticed some reviewers have called this film a “time passer” or that it is “nothing spectacular”…are they definite we are discussing the same movie??? “Stalag 17″ is top class entertainment and it’s release on DVD (albeit without any extra features) is long overdue and well received.
A high calibre production that deserves a state in any legal film fans movie collection!
This is not your typical WWII war movie. Astronomical acting by William Holden. He won the Oscar for best actor. Robert Strauss and Harry Lembeck are blazingly comic as 2 other POW’s along with Holden. The movie is place in a German prison camp during WWII a week before Christmas. Holden is suspected of being a nazi observe living with the POW’s. He’s not, but he’s going to gain out who is. The other prisoner’s have already beaten him and and taken some of his possessions. Definitely the best POW movie ever. The DVD has no “special” features such as slow the scenes or information about the cast. It does have scene selection, Dolby Digital, and English subtitles for the deaf and hearing impared. This DVD is the “Standard version” aspect ratio. The movie came out in 1953 when the movie studios were going to “Widescreen” but I contemplate it was shot before they adapted. So this DVD is basically how it looked in the theatre. The transfer to DVD is immense. It looks as if they restored it some. This is definitely one for your DVD collection.
