Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Stalag 17 is a 1953 American war dramedy movie set inside a World War II German POW Camp, directed by Billy Wilder and featuring an Ensemble Cast that includes William Holden, Don Taylor, Otto Preminger, Robert Strauss, Harvey Lembeck, Richard Erdman, Peter Graves, Neville Brand, and Sig Ruman. Adapted by Wilder and Edwin Blum from the hit Broadway play of the same title, which was based in turn on the real-life POW experiences of authors Donald Bevan and Edmund Trzcinski.The film opens with the narrator, Cookie (Gil Stratton), recalling life in Barracks 4 of Stalag 17 — a Luftwaffe POW compound "somewhere on the Danube" holding 630 sergeants from various U.S. flight crews — and in particular the attempted December 1944 escape of two prisoners, Manfredi and Johnson, whose capture and death lead the rest of the POWs to suspect that there's a traitor in their midst who tipped off the Germans. The primary suspect is one J.J. Sefton (Holden), a cynical scrounger who employs Cookie as his lackey and whose caustic attitude and self-centered opportunism rankles the rest of the barracks.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The film is built on a double allegory: the same paranoia that causes the POWs to target Sefton had 1) enabled the Nazis easily to scapegoat the Jews and 2) prompted Hollywood to institute a blacklist shortly before the film's release scapegoating left-leaning scriptwriters, performers, and others. | |

Ambiguously Jewish: Harry Shapiro. Possibly Duke, as he says "Shalom, boys," to Manfredi and Johnson before their escape attempt. | |

Affably Evil: Colonel von Scherbach makes light-hearted speeches to the prisoners: And he says this while the bodies of Manfredi and Johnson lie in the mud in front of him. Sergeant Schulz may claim to be your friend. But he's not. | |

All Germans Are Nazis: Averted with Punch-Clock Villain Schulz. His reaction to all the prisoners mockingly dressing as Hitler is a muttered "One Führer is enough." | |

Anti-Hero: Sefton's an obnoxious jerk who seems to enjoy taunting the others with the goodies he gets from his black-market trading. But he's an American at heart. | |
