Auction History Result 1c577 STALAG 17 rare style B 1/2sheet '53 Wilder, completely different image of Holden & prisoners! Date Sold 6/24/2008 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Style B Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28") (Learn More) Stalag Seventeen, the classic 1953 Billy Wilder (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) World War II (WWII) military prisoner-of-war (POW) comedy ("The star-spangled laugh-loaded salute to our P.W. heroes!"; "'Stalag 17'...The address - of a prisoner of war camp!"; "Based on the play by Donald Bevan and Edmund Trzcinski") starring William Holden (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; as Sefton), Don Taylor (as Lt. Dunbar), Otto Preminger (as the German commandant Col. Von Scherbach), Robert Strauss (in his nominated for Best Supporting Actor Academy Award role as Stanislas Kasava), Harvey Lembeck, Richard Erdman, Peter Graves (as Price), Neville Brand, and Sig Ruman (as the German Sgt. Schulz). Can anyone tell me how or why actor Don Taylor was given second billing in this movie? He did not have a major part at all! If anyone knows, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this rare style B half-sheet has a line up image of the POW prisoners, which is completely different from that of the other posters from the movie, all of which incorporate a large odd image of the Russian women prisoners being sprayed with a hose (and which is not very relevant to the movie at all!). Also note that this poster was machine folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: fair to good. There is paper tape on the back of all four borders. The poster was folded down the middle and was partially folded across the center. There are two areas of paper loss in the right border and smudges around the edges of the poster and in the background areas. Obviously, this really cool poster has many significant defects, but if it is paperbacked and properly restored by a talented professional restorer, it will look great!
