The change is not just that the story stage moved from the city to the camp. Unlike Wilder's previous late-range effort style, "Stalag 17" is obviously vented at the end. The turning point at the end is too blunt, and the villain’s sudden thunderstorm will make people sigh with emotion: That’s it? Can't help but wonder if the old man was subjected to force majeure intervention when shooting this movie, so that he could not completely let go and had to make such compromises.
Although you can imagine the joy of people watching this movie, looking at the characters in the prisoner of war camp from today's perspective, it is inevitable that they will feel that they are too facial.
The Shuabao duo has almost shaken off 80% of the burden of the entire film, bringing the cheerful elements that a comedy should have, but its contribution to the movie stops there. The removal of these two characters seems to have no effect on the story. .

Just thinking of so much for the time being, this movie can basically be regarded as Billy Wilder's moderate level.
