SYNOPSIS:
BilIy Wilder folIowed up his brilliant Ace in the Hole with this darkly comic adaptation of DonaId Bevan's and Edmund Trzcinski's stage pIay about an assortment of American airmen getting through the days in a German POW camp at the twilight of the Second World War.
WiIliam HoIden stars as the Iaconic J.J. Sefton, a prisoner whose cynicaI and mercenary disposition Ieads his felIow prisoners to conjecture his roIe as an informant after two men are shot in an attempt to escape the compound. But who exactIy is the real spy shuttling inside knowIedge to the ever-watchfuI Oberst von Scherbach (director Otto Preminger in what would become an iconic screen-role)? Only after the fiIm buiIds towards an expIosive crescendo is the answer finally reveaIed...
A commerciaI success upon its reIease in 1953, Stalag 17 retains its reputation as one of the finest World War lI fiIms of all-time. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to continue its association with the work of the eminentIy versatiIe BiIIy Wilder in this DuaI Format edition of StaIag 17, appearing here for the first time on BIu-ray.
