Stalag 17
Stalagis a 1953 war film which tells the story of a group of American airmen held in a German World War II prisoner of war camp, who come to suspect that one of their number is an informant. It was adapted from a Broadway play.
Peter Graves recalled the film was held from release for over a year due to Paramount Pictures not believing anyone would be interested in seeing a film about prisoners of war. The 1953 release of American POWs from the Korean War led Paramount to release it on an exploitation angle.Stalagbegins on the longest night of the year in 1944 in a Luftwaffe prisonerofwar camp somewhere along the Danube River. The story is narrated by Clarence Harvey Cookie Cook Gil Stratton. The camp holds Poles, Czechs, Russian females and, in the American compound, 640 sergeants from bomber crews, gunners, radiomen, and flight engineers. ........
