Biografía breve
Billy Wilder was born Samuel Wilder in Sucha, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. His mother had spent several years in the USA in her youth and is said to have nicknamed her son "Billy" because of her fascination with Buffalo Bill. Wilder briefly studied law in Vienna, originally intending to become a lawyer, before abandoning that career for journalism. He wrote for a Viennese newspaper, producing crime and sports stories and interviews. In 1926, he took a publicity job in Berlin with the American jazz bandleader Paul Whiteman. He stayed on in Berlin writing for the city’s largest tabloid newspaper. In 1929, he broke into films as a screenwriter, and wrote scripts for numerous German films until the Nazis came to power in 1933. He left for Paris, then emigrated to the USA. Although he did not speak English when he arrived in Hollywood in 1934, Wilder was a fast learner, and thanks to friends such as Peter Lorre, with whom he shared an apartment, he was quickly able to start working in American films. In 1938, he began a fruitful writing partnership with Charles Brackett. They evolved into a producer-director team in 1942, with Wilder directing, and turned out box office hits such as Five Graves to Cairo (1943), The Lost Weekend (1945), and Sunset Boulevard (1950), winning several Academy Awards along the way. After the partnership dissolved, Wilder's self-produced films were more caustic and cynical, though he also produced successful, classic comedies such as Some Like It Hot (1959) and The Apartment (1960). He retired in 1981.

Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, en un campo de prisioneros alemán, unos seiscientos sargentos americanos comparten el barracón 17. En Nochebuena, dos de ellos se disponen a fugarse, pero son descubiertos y ejecutados por soldados alemanes que estaban al acecho. Los prisioneros empiezan a sospechar que en el barracón hay un traidor que informa a los nazis y llegan a la conclusión de que ese traidor es el sargento Sefton, un hombre más bien cínico y flemático, que vive bastante bien a base de canjear provisiones con los soldados alemanes.

Se trata de una díscola y alocada joven de dieciocho años, que ya ha estado prometida cuatro veces. Pero lo peor es que, eludiendo la vigilancia de MacNamara, la chica se enamora de Otto Piffl, un joven comunista que vive en la Alemania Oriental. (FILMAFFINITY)… (más)

Charles Tatum es un periodista sin escrúpulos que atraviesa una mala racha a causa de su adicción al alcohol, razón por la que se ha visto obligado a trabajar en un pequeño diario de Nuevo México. Cuando un minero indio se queda atrapado en un túnel, Tatum ve la oportunidad de volver a triunfar en el mundo del periodismo. Entonces, en connivencia con el sheriff del pueblo, no sólo convierte el caso en un espectáculo, sino que, además, retrasa cuanto puede el rescate. (FILMAFFINITY)
