12 O'Clock High: P.O.W.: Part One (1965)
Episode 30, Season 1
Stalag 18
16 June 2023
Solid season ending climax about Savage's POW incarceration. Contains numerous plot elements from prior POW movies. There is James Farentino as a William Holden type hustler ala Stalag 17, also several familiar references from The Great Escape (mass escapes with pickpocketed identification cards and makeshift escape costumes). Also, the Nazi camp commander is a sympathetic Luftwaffe officer with a nasty SS assistant. Filming shifted from Chino Airport to the studio backlot, but POW camp is fairly realistic looking as are the guards and Dobermans. Personal gripe: most haircuts are far out of regulation.
