Customer Reviews

It passes time.

The writers are Billy Wilder, Edwin Blum, and Donald Bevan. You can really see Wilder’s hand in this movie. William Holden does a pretty good job of portraying Sgt. J.J. Sefton was a prisoner in Stalag 17 during World War II. Unlike the TV program “Hogan's Heroes” (1965), this movie is more serious, yet it has its amusing moments. There is nothing to make this movie stand out past any other stalag escape films. Of course, it has the standard spy that informs on the escape attempts. It is more of a time passer. Maybe the play that this film was based on was executed better? If you really want to see a good William Holden war movie, then do not miss “The Bridge on the River Kwai” (1957) ~ William Holden.
