William Holden in Stalag 17 (Billy Wilder, 1953)

Cast: William Holden, Don Taylor, Otto Preminger, Robert Strauss, Harvey Lembeck, Richard Erdman, Peter Graves, Neville Brand, Sig Ruman, Edmund Trczinski,. Screenplay: Billy Wilder, Edwin Blum, based on a play by Donald Bevan and Edmund Trzcinski. Cinematography: Ernest Laszlo. Art direction: Franz Bachelin, Hal Pereira. Film editing: George Tomasini. Music: Franz Waxman.

After their success with Sunset Blvd. (1950), Billy Wilder and Charles Brackett went their separate ways. They had been one of the most successful teams in Hollywood history since 1938, when they began collaborating as screenwriters, and then as a producer (Brackett), director (Wilder), and co-writer team starting with Five Graves to Cairo in 1943. But Wilder decided that he wanted to be a triple-threat: producer, director, and writer. His first effort in this line, Ace in the Hole (1951), was, however, a commercial flop -- now regarded as a classic. So he seems to have decided to go for the sure thing: film versions of plays that had been Broadway hits and therefore had a built-in attraction to audiences. His next three movies, Stalag 17, Sabrina (1954), and The Seven Year Itch (1955), all fell into this category. But what Wilder really needed was a steady writing collaborator, which he didn't find until 1957, when he teamed up with I.A.L. Diamond for the first time on Love in the Afternoon. The collaboration hit pay dirt in 1959 with Some Like It Hot, and won Wilder his triple-threat Oscar with The Apartment (1960). Which is all to suggest that Stalag 17 appeared while Wilder was in a kind of holding pattern in his career. It's not a particularly representative work, given its origins on stage which bring certain expectations from those who saw it there and also from those who want to see a reasonable facsimile of the stage version. The play, set in a German P.O.W. camp in 1944, was written by two former inmates of the titular prison camp, Donald Bevan and Edmund Trczinski. In revising it, Wilder built up the character of the cynical Sgt. Sefton (William Holden), partly to satisfy Holden, who had walked out of the first act of the play on Broadway. Sefton is in many ways a redraft of Holden's Joe Gillis in Sunset Blvd., worldly wise and completely lacking in sentimentality, a character type that Holden would be plugged into for the rest of his career, and it won him the Oscar that he probably should have won for that film. But it's easy to see why Holden wanted the role beefed up, because Stalag 17 is the kind of play and movie that it's easy to get lost in: an ensemble with a large all-male cast, each one eager to make his mark. Harvey Lembeck and Robert Strauss, as the broad comedy Shapiro and "Animal," steal most of the scenes -- Strauss got a supporting actor nomination for the film -- and Otto Preminger as the camp commandant and Sig Ruman as the German Sgt. Schulz carry off many of the rest. The cast even includes one of the playwrights, Edmund Trczinski, as "Triz," the prisoner who gets a letter from his wife, who claims that he "won't believe it," but an infant was left on her doorstep and it looks just like her. Triz's "I believe it," which he obviously doesn't, becomes a motif through the film. Bowdlerized by the Production Code, Stalag 17 hasn't worn well, despite Holden's fine performance, and it's easy to blame it for creating the prison-camp service comedy genre, which reached its nadir in the obvious rip-off Hogan's Heroes, which ran on TV for six seasons, from 1965 to 1971.

Lena Dunham’s medieval kids comedy film “Catherine Called Birdy” is set to make its world premiere at Toronto International Film Festival this September.

Based on the 1994 children’s novel by Karen Cushman, “Catherine Called Birdy” is set in England during the year 1290, and focuses on Lady Catherine (Bella Ramsey), the youngest child of Lord Rollo (Andrew Scott) and Lady Aislinn (Billie Piper). When Catherine’s parents attempt to fix their financial woes by marrying her off to a wealthy man, she counteracts by scaring off her potentials suitors, resulting in tension between the spirited and independent young woman and her traditional parents.

The cast also includes Lesley Sharp, Sophie Okonedo, Joe Alwyn, Isis Hainsworth, Dean-Charles Chapman and Paul Kaye, with Dunham appearing in a supporting role. Dunham directed, wrote the screenplay and produces via her Good Thing Going Banner. Working Title Films is also backing the project, and Eric Fellner, Tim Bevan and Jo Wallet produce alongside Dunham. The film has been described as a “passion project” for Dunham, who first announced her plans to adapt Cushman’s novel in 2014.

The Toronto International Film Festival runs Sept. 8-18. Shortly after the festival ends, “Catherine Called Birdy” will receive a limited theatrical release starting Sept. 23 via Amazon Studios, prior to streaming on Prime Video on Oct. 7.

Sid Smith (with Marvel Rea) in Nonsense (1920, Jack White)

Pencil-mustachioed Smith worked for Keystone briefly in 1917, but returned more prominently when teamed with Billy Bevan in Del Lord-directed comedies in 1924 like Lizzies of the Field.

A Fairbault, Minnesota native, Smith started in motion pictures in 1911 with Pathé Western under the direction of James Youngdeer, appearing in films such as Her Son, The Bullet's Mark and The Blind Gypsy. He joined Selig around 1913, appearing in Castles in the Air, the three-reeler Garrison's Finish, Her Victory Internal and Tale of a Coat. Smith played Mickey in "The Red Head" series and appeared in their "Chronicles of Bloom Center" series in 1915.

He married Ruth Beckman on Mar 17, 1915, and they divorced in Apr 1921.

Smith's first starring series came with Alkire Photoplays, and in 1920 he made 26 Holly Comedies for Bulls Eye, featuring Paul Parrott and under the direction of Robert Kerr. Smith supported Monty Banks in his Warner comedies, and in 1921-22 he appeared opposite a succession of other comedians in the successful "Hallroom Boys" series for CBC/Federated. Smith made some shorts for Grand Asher in 1923 and starred in Jack White's Cameo Comedies in 1923-24, before his work at Sennett. Smith had appeared as "Ramon Alfaro" in the feature The Ne'er Do Well(Selig) in 1916, and repeated his role in the 1923 Famous Players-Lasky version. He also appeared in Kismet(Waldorf 1920), and starred in many shorts for Al Christie during the 1920s, for Paramount and Pizor in 1927 and for Goodart in 1928. In 1928, Smith was featured in two World War 1 spoof features for Anchor, Dugan of the Dugouts and Top Sergeant Mulligan.

Smith's death in at 36, was attributed to his having imbibed bad liquor at a Malibu beach party. He left his father J.L. Smith of Fairbault, Minnesota, and brother J.C. Smith of Des Moines, Iowa, and is interred at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

-Walker, B.E., 2010, Mack Sennett's Fun Factory, McFarland&Company, Inc., Publishers, p.543

The director Jack White(center)'s childhood days in Fatty Joins the Force (1913)

A neighborhood kid from Edendale, White appeared in a couple of 1913-14 Keystones (such as the boy who gives Fatty Arbuckle a pie in the face in Fatty Joins the Force). White also briefly worked the Sennett switchboard, but was fired for putting a call through to Ford Sterling that lured the star comedian to another lot. White wound up producing comedies for Educational in the 1920s that competed with Sennett's.

A former Priest named Dr. Lawrence harbors a dark and horrible secret in his attic. The locked room serves as a prison cell for his crazed, cannibalistic adult son, who acquired his savage tastes in India during his father’s missionary work there. Lawrence fears that his son will escape to prey upon the effete guests at his rural English estate during a cross-country auto race.

You all remember Tyburn Films Productions Ltd., right? Wait, maybe not… With only just over a handful of films, this British company quietly began in 1973 with Tales that Witness Madness (uncredited), and, in 1975, they churned out a pair of gothic horror films that look very much like Hammer, Amicus, or even Tigon. Directed by the legendary Freddie Francis and featuring Peter Cushing, John Hurt, and Veronica Carlson, The Ghoul (1975) is one of these two creature features. The other is Legend of the Werewolf (1975). Join the Grue-Crew as they determine how well this film stands up to its contemporaries. 

At the time of this writing, The Ghoul is available to stream from Tubi.

Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1970s is part of the Decades of Horror two-week rotation with The Classic Era and the 1980s.
