	'''''Stalag 17''''' is a 1953 WWII comedy/drama directed by [[Billy Wilder]] and starring [[William Holden]], [[Don Taylor]], as well as famed director Otto Preminger (1944's ''Laura"). The film was an adaptation of the play of the same name by Donald Bevan and Edmund Trzcinski, which was in turn based on their own experiences as prisoners of war during World War II, although it was extensively rewritten by both Wilder and Edwin Blum. ''[[Hogan's Heroes]]'', the 1965 television sitcom about POWs in a German Stalag that was released by Paramount (who also released this film) and Bing Crosby Productions, had enough of a similarity that writers Bevan and Trzcinski later unsuccessfully sued the television producers for copyright infringement. The film was a hit with critics and audiences, with William Holden winning the Academy Award for Best Actor and Best Director and Best Supporting Actor nominations for Billy Wilder and Robert Strauss, respectively.
