Stalag 17 - BLU-RAY

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 InchAnimal.Inch Here's Wilder's powerful, acclaimed film classic - now packed with never-before-seen special features, including audio commentary and Inchbehind-the-scenesInch featurettes.

Billy Wilder's acerbic, harrowing blend of comedy and drama depicting the life of Allied POWs in a German prison camp stars William Holden as a cynical but resourceful American sergeant who's accused of being a Nazi collaborator when damning information about a fellow prisoner is leaked to the commandant. Otto Preminger, Robert Strauss, Peter Graves, Don Taylor, Neville Brand, Harvey Lembeck co-star. Based on the play by fellow POWs Edmund Trzcinski and Donald Bevan. 120 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks English DTS HD stereo Master Audio, French Dolby Digital stereo; Subtitles English (SDH), French; audio commentary.
