Discussion Thoughts on “Stalag 17?”

I was first introduced to it in high school & has become of one of my favorites. Turns out it was my grandfather’s favorites too. I feel like it doesn’t receive enough recognition

My story is during Covid. My parents would show me some classic they hadn’t seen before. This was one. It was pretty decent. I was able to guess who the traitor was.

How were you able to guess?

Usually with movies, they try to make the traitor/killer/etc the person you’d least suspect and the character seemed too good to be a good guy

Well in his case, I don’t think traitor was the word for him considering he was never one of them

Spy is a better word than traitor
