Stalag 17 1953

The movie Stalag 17, directed by Billy Wilder, who lived between 1906-2002, was released in 1953. Adapted from the play by Donald Bevan and Edmund Trzynski, the film was shot in the United States on a budget of less than $2 million. The film won the Academy Award for Best Actor and was nominated for Oscars for Best Director and Best Supporting Actor. The script was written by Wilder and Edwin Bloom, the editing was by George Tomasini, the art direction was Franz Bachelin and Hal Pereira, the set design was by Sam Comer and Roy Moyer, and the music was by Leonid Raab. The film features Oscar-winning actors William Holden, Don Taylor, who died in 1981, and three-time Oscar-nominated actors such as Otto Preminger, Harvey Lembeck, Neville Brand, Peter Graves, Michael Moore, Gil Stratton, Sig Ruman, Robert. Strauss and Richard Erdman take on the role. Hundreds of movies have been made about World War II. Wilder's Stalag 17 is one such movie. Stalag 17, which tells the tragicomic story of a group of American soldiers trapped in a Nazi POW camp, offers the audience a wonderful 120 minutes. None of the American pilots' attempts to escape from Stalag 17, a POW camp on the Danube, were successful. An unknown spy among them teaches the German soldiers everything (tunnels, escape plans). When Captain Dunbar arrives at the POW camp, the soldiers must expose the informant before he can and kidnap him before the SS officers arrive to pick him up. Suspects suspect a man who gets along with the Germans and is innocent once they beat him, who knows he will only prove his innocence when a real spy shows up. A series of interesting events in the barracks do not go unnoticed by him. He soon learns who the spy is. They decide to use it to kidnap Captain Dunbar from the camp...
