Stalag 17 is a classic! I am only 16 and this is one of my favorite movies ever! The great escape was great but I like this movie alot more. William Holden brought so much to this movie! Some of my friends say its gay to like black and white movies but I dont care this movie is just too great! Oh and ANIMAL RULES!!!
I ran across this movie when i was between 12 n 15 in the 90s. And loved it was a big ww2 movie buff so any time this was on i would watch it. I was strolling thur Walmart one day 15yrs ago and saw this on dvd and bought it on the spot. Your friends are dumb lots of good movies and tv shows that where black n white.
when i was young me and my family would go for summer vacation and we would not pay for cable tv but we would always take the vcr and this movie was one of them, i grew up watching this movie and i love it
Excellent scene. As they all join in and sing an very old American song the spy is revealed to the audience and he has the gall to join in like a good patriotic American boy. It makes you despise him even more. Peter Graves gives a very good performance as the spy. So good it actually hampered his career.
@@AA-sn9lz Yes, He did 3 or 4 movies a year for a while. A lot of B movies and some really low budget. Western and Sci-fi. Starring in some of them. He also did the TV show Fury for 5 years.
Absolutely. I just love the steely coldness and minimal movement of Peter Graves (Price) while he reveals the real treachery going on in the barracks. The timing of the cord pull down, Joey's slow turn to look at him after the crowd marches by is like: "What did you just do Price?" and Holden's (Sefton) notice of the now swinging shadow to the backdrop of the rallying music is so wonderful and quintessential Billy Wilder!
I had no impression Joey spotted anything, Price does make sure Sefton is not looking before he checks the hollow chess queen. That Sefton notices something about the light cord is clearly telegraphed, however.
@@stevekaczynski3793 It's not so much Joey actually suspects anything or saw anything - because he didn't. It's more the (artistic?) choice of having the disassociated, cognitively-challenged guy be the one to look at Price after the audience is made aware that he is now the bad guy while the other POWs are blissfully unaware and reveling. It struck me as a nice subtle choice in the whole framing of the "reveal" scene. Thanks for your insightful comment! :)
@@stevekaczynski3793 what does it mean, "clearly telegraphed"? You mean, for the sake of plot? I don't think so. I think it was completely in character with Sefton. From thw beginning, he knew something was wrong, and was more wise to it than the rest of the sergeants. Then when they suspected him and even beat him up, his vigilance only strengthened.
One of Billy Wilder's best works if not his best... Double Indemnity, Sunset Boulevard, Some Like It Hot, The Apartment and this one right here are surely his best movies :)
Ever since I first saw this scene, this has been my favorite rendition of Johnny Goes Marching Home. And this scene is well done. So much is going on while the P.O.W.'s still finding ways to lift their spirits; it just gets to me.
I've said this before but it bears repeating. Peter Graves does a STELLAR acting job in this scene. Just enough, no dialogue and we really get it. Really cool collected job in an awesome film! Look how he follws them back to the table and matter of factly and dilliberately yanks the cord out if the loop. Great
Price is a German spy put in the American POW barracks, he is passing messages to the German guards through a hallow chess piece, he ties a loop in the light wire to alert the guards that there is a new message. The guy laying in bed just got beat by the other men because they thought he was the spy. When I was a kid Stalag 17 was my Dad's favorite movie, when it came out on VHS he'd watch it all the time. It really is one of the best all-time movies ever made.
Both Stalag 17 and Guns of Navarone were great WWII films but dont foget my favorite WWII film, The Longest Day. That one had a catchy tune too. Got to love B&W films.
Best scene while your distracted by the jingle the rat reveals him self and just when u think he got away steftons sees the light swinging my eyes popped out
Stalag 17 along with High Noon were my dad's two favorite movies. They are both timeless classics. The only black and white movies I could ever stand as a kid, it brings back some happy memories.
Just because he wasn't doing much to help the men in Barracks 4 doesn't mean he wasn't watching for anything out of the ordinary. He knew something screwy was going on since the start of the movie like all the other men, they just weren't as focused like he was because the Germans kept out witting them with the spy. And this is where he picks up the scent (The light) and became more suspicious when he saw the loop again later in the evening.
It's not so much the swinging - it's the fact it's been lowered. Any of the POW's could have have knocked it with a mop to make it swing, but it's the change in the cord's length that's the real clue.
Can we take a minute to think on how simple this movie is, mostly one room and about 30 men, you could fund this movie today with a faction of a just the cost of the catheting for an A list actor.
I love this movie.. I knew the ending before I saw 20years later. My Dad often talked about this as one of my bedtime stories.. to this day, it's one of my favorite movies :)
A tremendous movie with a young Peter Graves as "Price", the in house Nazi spy, this movie features perhaps the greatest climatic endings in motion picture history, I don't wanna spoil it for those who haven't seen it, but William Holden will make you want to get out of your seat and cheer his performance. A well deserved Oscar award for best actor.
I loved this movie too even though it came out like 30 years before I was born and is in black and white and gay still meant happy. I saw this move 3 or 4 years ago on TCM or AMC and loved it. I like mystery movies like this.
my grandpa who was in ww2 every xmas hed watch this and had me with the broom marching when i was llke 6 im 29 now saw it on on xmass eve and i sat there and watched what my grandpa woould use to and this scene gave me chills the way they show the spy and holden noticeing the bulb swinging his face was golden he deff deserved best actor from this film sadly no would watch it cuz its blk n white the movies then are better then today simple and i alway tear cuz he loved this song my g pa was 6 7 bookie italian from brooklyn so he always had a deep scary presense but hed watch this movie hed always sang like he wad back in ww2 at 18 missing you man
RIP Peter Graves. He passed away today from sudden heart attack after collapsing. He would have been 84 this week on March 18. He is mostly notable for his role on Mission: Impossible! (the TV series and its revival) and the pilot captain in the Airplane! movies.
I love this song. It was this movie that made me like the song in the first place. :) Unfortunately, I don't think too many others appreciate it, but that's just my opinion. Also, this is one of my favorite scenes of the movie.
My favourite scene in all of cinema 🎥. Someone starting to figure something out without the use of technology and instead from/with simple observation.
When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again, Hurrah! Hurrah! We'll give him a hearty welcome then Hurrah! Hurrah! The men will cheer and the boys will shout The ladies they will all turn out And we'll all feel gay, When Johnny comes marching home. Get ready for the Jubilee, Hurrah! Hurrah! We'll give the hero three times three, Hurrah! Hurrah! The laurel wreath is ready now To place upon his loyal brow And we'll all feel gay When Johnny comes marching home.

Je viens de le découvrir. Je l'ai regardé trois fois en l'espace de quelques jours ❤. Un grand merci à ARTE pour l'avoir diffusé. Il est magnifique. Une très belle histoire.👍
@Lamporre My great uncle actually worked at a PoW camp here in Canada and many of the Germans were happy to stay there. Many even returned to Canada after the war. Most were all well treated and fed and could work in the farms or lumber camps. It is something not very well known either but Canada actually had over 30,000 PoW's mostly from Britain out of fear in case of invasion they would be let out.
It was originally offered to Kirk Douglas, who turned it down. Great, great performance by Holden. Septon was a shit and yet you were rooting for him to discover the real spy

Your friends are sick + stupid
Your friends are dolts
There are only about 10 movies that I will stop and watch to completion if I come across them while channel surfing...... this is one of them
I've watched this movie maybe 6 or 7 times. It never gets old.

Maybe he would've been better off taking that gladiator movie he was offered.
@@SWog617 Or took a role as a deputy on Gunsmoke.
And he’s a white blond boy made out to be the bad guy in the 1950’s this film was ahead of the times!!!
Didn't he do The Night of The Hunter directed by Charles Laughton after this?
@@AA-sn9lz Yes, He did 3 or 4 movies a year for a while. A lot of B movies and some really low budget. Western and Sci-fi. Starring in some of them. He also did the TV show Fury for 5 years.
I used to watch this with my dad around Christmas time, one of my favorites!
Old Civil War tune...sung by both sides during the war. "Johnny" being any soldier.
Great Scene. One of my favorite movies

@@jpgiuliotti When Price is finally unmasked, there is a hint of triumph on Joey's face - the only time he shows any emotion or awareness.

I’d even put Ace in the Hole in that group. All phenomenal works of art
Great acting by everyone. The face of Price when Strauss begins singing is a perfect example of his great performance ...
One of few movies I can watch many times over
Ever since I first saw this scene, this has been my favorite rendition of Johnny Goes Marching Home. And this scene is well done. So much is going on while the P.O.W.'s still finding ways to lift their spirits; it just gets to me.
die hard with a vengeance was pretty cool too
@@justinsurridge2043 yeah, Die Hard with a Vengeance is a good one
And the only one that seems to go beyond the first part.
god damn what a film, what a film
I just watched Stalag 17 today on Tubi for about the dozenth time. What a GREAT movie that never gets boring…..
the guy who says, "I believe it, I believe it. Why does she always say I won't believe it?", wrote the stage play from which this movie was made.
This is one of the movies that...anytime of day... anytime of year... ill stop what im.doing and watch this from wherever. And finish lines.
Years ago me & my kids would act it out along with movie. Never gets old
Stalag 17 Kicks SO MUCH ASS!!!!I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!
The moment when a good move becomes an classic for the ages
This scene is an epic...a momentum..like a crown in Hollywood history
Epic moment in one of the best movies ever.
I've said this before but it bears repeating. Peter Graves does a STELLAR acting job in this scene. Just enough, no dialogue and we really get it. Really cool collected job in an awesome film!

I bought this movie on DVD,I don't regret it.
the name of the movie is Stalag 17 [1953]; great movie btw.
They don't make movies like this anymore.
Oh please....
Like how?
"Ach so.... Ach SOOOOOOOO!!!"
*Smokes cigar*
Certainly the best war film in the genre of comedy-drama!!!
Unforgettable movie and unforgettable actors!!!
Both Stalag 17 and Guns of Navarone were great WWII films but dont foget my favorite WWII film, The Longest Day. That one had a catchy tune too. Got to love B&W films.
Watched the longest day a few nights ago
If I have any complaint...there WAS NOTHING ABOUT THE CANADIAN involvement in D.Day
"He's still at the commandant's office, that's all i know, don't worry" 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Exactly. “The enemy has him, don’t worry.” Told on himself right there.
One of the best movies ever made!
BINGO SO GREAT.
Best scene while your distracted by the jingle the rat reveals him self and just when u think he got away steftons sees the light swinging my eyes popped out
Excellent classic.Excellent scene.
I agree...my favorite scene. Other than watching that traitor get what was coming to him.
Çok iyi di mi
realism is off the scale
GREAT Favorite ! ! ! 🏆
the best marching song EVER! I bristle every time I hear it...
Stalag 17 along with High Noon were my dad's two favorite movies. They are both timeless classics. The only black and white movies I could ever stand as a kid, it brings back some happy memories.
And they’re both about the lone wolf protector who fights against all odds
Have to watch every time it comes on. One of the pleasures of life. Von Ryan's Express is another great one.
Glad I Got This on DVD. Great War Movie.
One of my favorite movies - ever!!
haha i just watched this movie, such a classic i can watch this movie over and over agian !
Klassic Willam Holden. One of my fav War Movies!
Exquisite scene, in its conception, writing, acting and shooting. Tone perfect piece of film-marking art.
I love this wonderful and patriotic song!!!
I LOVE THIS SCENE ROBERT STRAUSS CRACKS ME UP RON STEPHENS
Me too.
Sefton’s got a good eye for noticing that swinging light bulb
Just because he wasn't doing much to help the men in Barracks 4 doesn't mean he wasn't watching for anything out of the ordinary. He knew something screwy was going on since the start of the movie like all the other men, they just weren't as focused like he was because the Germans kept out witting them with the spy. And this is where he picks up the scent (The light) and became more suspicious when he saw the loop again later in the evening.
Terrific character, Sefton
Goofy Joey notices, too, but he can't say anything. Watch Joey at the end, smiling an evil smile. Beautiful touch.
It's not so much the swinging - it's the fact it's been lowered. Any of the POW's could have have knocked it with a mop to make it swing, but it's the change in the cord's length that's the real clue.
@@Sigma0283
In History , usually it is a minority that realizes the changes in the society , although the latter knows nothing about it.
This song stirs my soul. God Bless America !
I remember watching this movie with my grandpa his name was John everyone called him Johnny whenever I hear this I think of him
Can we take a minute to think on how simple this movie is, mostly one room and about 30 men, you could fund this movie today with a faction of a just the cost of the catheting for an A list actor.
One of the few pictures I saw more than once.
william holden's finest movie!
Stalag 17 the 1953 movie is the inspiration of the TV show 'Hogans Heroes' twelves years later.
love the song
I love this movie.. I knew the ending before I saw 20years later. My Dad often talked about this as one of my bedtime stories.. to this day, it's one of my favorite movies :)
Man I love this movie, I first saw it when I was about 4 years old!
I love this movie. This scene is GREAT.
This scene, the ach so scene and the exposing of the tratior scene are the best scenes in this awesome classic!
Yeah, both Graves and Holden acted so much of that scene with their eyes.
love this song a lot! one of the reasons, Stalag 17 is one of my favorite films.
Excellent film n music
Favorite movie and song in one! :)
The best scene in my favorite movie. Good job!
Outstanding Movie!
I love this film and i especially love it at Christmas
we discover the real snake
I have been looking for this film for years. It's the only B&W film I've ever been able to watch.

Animal (Robert Strauss) was my favorite.
I love this movie!!! Great clip!

2:29 Me and my friends when we are alone in my house:
There are kinds of scenes that you see only once in your entire life and never forget. This is one of them.
U Boat - stalag 17 these are legendary films.

Best Johnny Comes Marching Home movie ever
i love this song.
loved this movie. great scene good song.
Fantastic Tune.
Billy Wilder was the director of this movie, Stalag 17.
Hitchock was mainly a suspense/thriller director.
Just watched Staleg 17, had to listen to this again.
this song is fuckin epic

This movie is a first-rate film! I love it so much^^
great movie and doubt if a remake could ever be as good
No one could play Holden's part.
Amen to that.
Neither Animal nor Shapiro
Aye!
It was originally offered to Kirk Douglas, who turned it down.
Great, great performance by Holden. Septon was a shit and yet you were rooting for him to discover the real spy
One of my family’s favorite movies
