What Parents Need to Know
About Stalag 17
Parents need to know that this movie has some sexual references. Prisoners make a telescope to spy on the Russian women prisoners and often refer to their long separation from women; Sefton bribes the German guards to let him visit the women; one prisoner keeps insisting "I believe her" when he gets a letter from his wife saying that she found a baby who happens to look just like her.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about The evidence was very strongly against Sefton, and his unpleasant personality made him a natural object of hostility and suspicion. Contrast the process for finding Sefton guilty with the process the commandant uses to interrogate Dunbar (who was "guilty"). Why did Sefton give his egg to Joey? Why was Sefton so consumed with his own comforts and privileges? Why did the others suspect Sefton? How did the prisoners use humor to keep their spirits up? How do the film-makers use humor to break the tension? How can there be "rules" like those of the Geneva convention in a war? How can those rules be enforced?
