Description
Dana and Tom with returning guest, Kieran B (Host of the Best Picture Cast), discuss the WW2 prison camp comedy, Stalag 17 (1953): written and directed by Billy Wilder, co-written with Edwin Blum, music by Franz Waxman, starring William Holden, Don Taylor, Otto Preminger, Robert Strauss, and Peter Graves. Plot Summary: "Stalag 17," directed by Billy Wilder, is a gripping and darkly comedic exploration of camaraderie and suspicion within a German prisoner of war camp during World War II. The film follows the lives of American POWs, whose unity is shattered when they suspect a traitor in their midst. Wilder skillfully blends tension and humor, weaving a narrative that keeps the audience guessing until the final reveal. The film's standout performance comes from William Holden as the cynical and resourceful J.J. Sefton, a character who encapsulates the moral ambiguity of survival in the face of adversity. "Stalag 17" is a masterclass in storytelling; balancing suspense, wit, and a poignant exploration of the human condition in the crucible of war.
