37. "Stalag 17" (1953)

World War II Movie Night delves into fan favorite "Stalag 17," a movie that mixes intrigue and comedy to great effect. American POWs while away their captivity ogling Russian women and trying to undermine their German overseers. But the Germans are always one step ahead, leading some prisoners to think there's a spy in their midst. Wheeler-dealer Sefton is the prime suspect, but is it that simple? Raucous and suspenseful, what "Stalag 17" lacks in prestige it makes up for in entertainment... Asides include bygone comedies such as "Some Like It Hot" and "Airplane!"
