Episode notes

It’s Christmas 1944, and Rob Hutton and Duncan Weldon are in a muddy, frozen POW camp, dreaming of Betty Grable. But is one of them a rat?

We’re watching Billy Wilder’s Stalag 17, the film that won William Holden an Oscar and may have inspired the sitcom Hogan’s Heroes. Comedy? Drama? Escape movie? Or a mix of all three?
