Two worthy Academy Award® nominees from 1950's Sunset Boulevard - actor William Holden and director Billy Wilder - reteamed three years later for the gripping World War II drama, Stalag 17. The result was another Best Director nomination for Wilder (his fourth), and the elusive Best Actor Oscar® for Holden. Holden portrays the jaded, scheming Sergeant J.J. Sefton, a prisoner at the notorious German prison camp, who spends his days dreaming up rackets and trading with the Germans for special privileges. But when two prisoners are killed in an escape attempt, it becomes obvious that there is a spy among the prisoners. Is it Sefton? Famed producer/director Otto Preminger tackles a rare acting role as the camp's commandant; actor Robert Strauss won a Supporting Actor nomination for his role as "Animal." Here's Wilder's powerful, acclaimed film classic -- now packed with never-before-seen special features, including audio commentary and "behind-the-scenes" featurettes.Two worthy Academy Award® nominees from 1950's Sunset Boulevard - actor William Holden and director Billy Wilder - reteamed three years later for the gripping World War II drama, Stalag 17.

William Holden is(was) an amazing actor, e co started with John Wayne in the movie The horse soldiers, Wayne,his commanding officer did not like him as a field surgeon but Holden's character soon proved invaluable,in Stalag 17 he did it as well if not better,busting Peter Graves as a Nazi plant, double agent,Bravo!!

First saw this movie with my dad over 30 years ago. I recommend watching this. It stands the test of time. Great ww2 movie.

First saw this movie with my father when I was 8, and it still is one of my favorite movies of all time for me now at 40! Love this movie!
