Summary
Two worthy **Academy Award** nominees from 1950's *Sunset Boulevard* - actor William Holden and director Billy Wilder - re-teamed 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. Winner of Best Actor in a Leading Role (William Holden) and nominated for Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Robert Strauss) and Best Director (Billy Wilder) at the **Academy Awards**. *"Some of the funniest men-at-loose-ends interplay that [Director] Wilder has ever put on film." - Don Druker, **Chicago Reader*** *"A lusty comedy-melodrama, loaded with bold, masculine humor and as much of the original's uninhibited earthiness as good taste and the Production Code permit." - **Variety***
