Billy Wilder developed the play and made the film version more interesting in every way. Edwin Blum, a veteran screenwriter and friend of Wilder's, collaborated on the screenplay but found working with Wilder an agonizing experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWilder's mordant humor and misanthropy percolate throughout this bitter story of egoism, class conflict, and betrayal. As in a well-constructed murder mystery, the incriminating evidence points to the wrong man. Jeffrey Meyers's introduction enriches the reading of \u003ci\u003eStalag 17\u003c\/i\u003e by including comparisons with the Broadway production and the reasons for Wilder's changes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Billy Wilder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520218574\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520218574\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/24\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.03h x 6.14w x 0.45d","brand":"Billy Wilder","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44119757717759,"sku":"9780520218574","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0360c590-f534-4eff-8cee-a2b37eb6a4ef.jpg?v=1687410803","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stalag-17-billy-wilder-9780520218574","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
