Review of Stalag 17 (1953) by Harim K — 10 Jul 2010
The first time I saw this I thought the characters were more caricatures than anything else (in that yuk yuk kind of way) apart from holden in the main role. it was just taken too far, I thought, and I was too distracted by them to really appreciate holden whose badassery really overcomes any far fetched retardations. it makes me want to watch /the bridge on the river kwai/ again because he plays a similar cynical role.
Ps. look for peter graves. I totally missed him the first few times.
