Stalag 17

Monday, March 17, 2008

Well, I typically enjoy Billy Wilder a lot, but I wasn't as hot on this one. It's a comedy/drama set in a WWII POW camp, and it suffers from my typical old-tymey movie complaint: the comedy isn't funny enough. Which, actually, is pretty weird because Wilder has made some pretty funny movies. So I dunno. I enjoyed a lot of the more typical POW movie aspects, but a lot of the humor and runing jokes just didn't tickle me as much as they should have, making the movie kind of boring at times.

It wasn't bad, and actually I even kinda liked a lot of it, but it's just not one of the better klassiks I've watched so far. Oh well.
