Director Billy Wilder was certainly no stranger to the horrors of World War II. Being Jewish and having moved to Berlin to begin a career in the movies, Wilder fled the country following the rise of Adolf Hitler and tragically lost family members at the Auschwitz concentration camp. It makes this P.O.W movie, "STALAG 17" (1953) even more remarkable. The first year of release UK Quad on offer here is unrestored with light handling and age wear. British paper for this film is easily the scarcest for a film that was the influence for the classic "Great Escape" and the highly successful 60's American T.V. show "Hogan's Heroes".
