3/4  Stalag 17 Quick Review
This was a good POW movie. It was a little winded at times, but in fact, I liked it better than "The Great Escape." Holden is great!

5/5 One The Great Films
  by Lynn Ellingwood (Webster, NY United States)
Billy Wilder shows his stuff in this movie written and directed by him. The script is both funny and tragic and exciting at the same time. A group of American POWs during WWII try to survive their incarceration and help one escape. William Holden stars as the cynical, smart and bold POW who outsmarts the Germans and many of the American POWs. The movie moves effortlessly without being claustrophobic. I've loved this movie since I was a kid and still find there is more to see every viewing. A must see!

Stalag 17 is a great performance and gives us an important perspective on why WWII was necessary.

5/5 Good men, bad situation
  by James D. Crabtree (Guantanamo Bay, Cuba)
This one is a classic. A war movie, it takes place in a German POW camp, where U.S. Army Air Corps sergeants have been incarcerated. The plot revolves around Barracks 3 and how the Germans keep getting tipped off to American activities.

William Holden always does a great job in his roles but this one I think is his best. He plays Septon, a scammer who manages to get pretty much anything he wants with his schemes and his trading skills. He is also the natural choice when it comes to figuring out who the collaborater is.

Filmed in black and white this is one you really have to watch.

5/5 POW Divide & Conquer:
  by Charles D. Romero (So California)
Sat. 9 May 09 I feel Stalag # 17 to be one of William Holdens very best films. This movie is equal to his {The Bridge on the River Kwi} movie. Both are classics!!!!! They both tell the tale of military injustice!!!!!!!!!. The great German/Jewish actor Otto Preminger is outstanding as the Commandant!!!!! The DVD shows how the positive attitude of one person {Holden} can change the outcome for everyone concerned for the better.!!!!!! Fellow POWS!!!!! I have always wanted to purchase this great movie & Amazon sold it to me @ a low price. Plz keep your prices low for we retirees!!!!!! $$$$$$$ I want to thank Amazon for great customer service. Best/Wishes Charles, an old retired Veteran in So California.
