SISSYDUDE SINEMA: STALAG 17 (1953) William Holden is some HOT in this!
Stalag 17 is a 1953 war film which tells the story of a group of American airmen held in a German World War II prisoner of war camp, who come to suspect that one of their number is an informant. It was adapted from a Broadway play.
Produced and directed by Billy Wilder, it starred William Holden, Don Taylor, Robert Strauss, Neville Brand, Harvey Lembeck, and Peter Graves (Strauss and Lembeck both appeared in the original Broadway production); Wilder also cast Otto Preminger in the role of the camp’s Commandant.
In this rowdy comedy about Americans in a German prisoner-of-war camp during the Second World War, William Holden’s hair-trigger performance as the crafty, cynical heel who turns into a hero won him a new popularity, as well as the Academy Award for Best Actor. He had been a sensitive but milder actor before, and even the despairing range he demonstrated in SUNSET BLVD. hadn’t prepared audiences for the abrasive edge and distinctively American male energy he showed in this role, which is rather like the parts that catapulted Bogart to a new level of stardom in the early 40s.
The melodramatics of the plot are low-grade, and the material, taken from a play by Donald Bevan and Edmund Trzcinski–two ex-G.I.s who were interned in the actual Stalag 17–is still structured and performed like a play, but the gallows humor is entertaining, despite some rather broad roughhouse effects. Billy Wilder directed and had a hand in the adaptation, and it’s a safe bet that he’d taken a long look at GRAND ILLUSION–Otto Preminger does an Erich von Stroheim-Kommandant number. With Don Taylor, Robert Strauss, Harvey Lembeck, Neville Brand, Peter Graves, and Sig Rumann. Paramount. – PAULINE KAEL

SPANKING COLBY KELLER! Sissydude Interview for Daily Xtra…
DAILY XTRA: Colby Keller is quite possibly one of the hottest, smartest, cutest and most interesting pornstars on the planet. Not only does he know how to have great sex on camera, but he has a blog (bigshoediaries.blogspot.com) that follows his #selfie adventures around the US and a YouTube channel called In Bed with Colby Keller. Colby lover and gay blogger Sissydude spoke to him.
Sissydude: Hey Colby, how are you?
Colby Keller: Wunderbar! Et tu Sissydude?
SD: I’m awesome. So, you’ll be in Toronto for FIT PRIMPIN’ (Friday, June 28 @ The Great Hall). Very exciting!
CK: I’m seriously pumped. Moisturizing my spankin’ hand as we type.
SD: Have you been to Toronto before?
CK: Never! And I used to summer every year at Beach of the Pines in Grand Bend. I have no excuse.
SD: Well, you will “SEE PENIS” … Toronto’s CN Tower is super phallic. And it’s Pride Week. So you know there will be real peen everywhere.
CK: Hopefully much of it inside my body at some point. 
SD: I know that you’re a major foodie… Toronto has tons of amazing restaurants. Be prepared!
CK: I’ll remember to bring my jockstrap AND my suspenders.
SD: As one should. What will you be doing @ Fit Primpin’?
CK: Managing a small mom and pop-spanking booth (minus the mom and double the pop, if you think your booty can handle it).
SD: Your blog Big Shoe Diaries really is a fun place to hang out and get to know what you’re all about. You, Dale Cooper, Conner Habib, Logan Stevens and a few other gay porn men are really adding an artistic/scholarly dimension to what a gay porn star is thought to be.
CK: I’m flattered you think so. Thank you.
SD: You and Cooper specifically seem to have an experimental edge in some of your film work. I loved the recent B&W Make Love Not Porn video you did together. It was so hot yet it also has that 50’s art house feel. Even the lighting & camera angles gave me a boner.
CK: The 50s! Our lost decade… Korea, Greasers and . . . ? For our next video, I’m throwing Dale in a poodle skirt. 
SD: Do you seek out these projects or make them happen?
CK: Special Agent Dale Cooper is responsible for that one. I can’t claim any special credit.
SD: I believe you and Cooper were partners for a time. What is it like still being great friends and doing scenes together? There must be a lot of laughs.
CK: Belly laughs.
SD: Cockyboys’ “A Thing Of Beauty” looks like a lovely throwback to 70’s Bijou classics like “Night At The Adonis” or “Blue Summer Breeze”.
CK: A decade after my own heart (or, more precisely, just before it).
SD: How was that shoot?
CK: I believe your francophone readers might say something like “incroyable”! Does that translate as INCREDIBLE? Maybe “fantastique” is more appropriate? Cause it was fucking amazing. Tlayudas and sea turtles . . . What more could you ask for?
SD: What is a favorite scene or film that you were involved in?
CK: Don’t get me in trouble. I’m like your mom. They’re all my favorites.
SD: You and Big Shoe Diaries’ Minister of Propaganda Karl Marxxx have recently been on a road trip plugging his awesome Adult Madlibs, The World’s Greatest Pride Game.
CK: A future timeless classic I assure you. ALL your readers should run to their local bookstore and score a copy for Pride!
SD: Any fun stories to tell?
CK: I know a really good story about Cousin Raccoon that I learned at the Chickasaw Country Arts & Heritage Center in Ada, Oklahoma, but it wouldn’t sound quite as riveting coming from me as it did from the interactive “enchanted forest”. While it’s a passport away for most of your readers, I highly recommend a visit. Walt Disney himself couldn’t have told the story of the “Trail of Tears” any better. They even have an IMAX theatre and an ancient Chickasaw village where you can play real stickball! There were two teams of about 50 kids total when Marxxx and I edged in on a “social game”– that’s boys vs. girls. Girls don’t use sticks. They use their hands. Not surprisingly, they creamed us.
SD: One of my fave Colby things EVER was your In Bed With Colby Keller “Ass Eating Made Easy” tutorial (the recent walnut/ prostate was a good one too). When you used props including a cucumber, a cut melon & your fist. I was howling. Will there be more of these inventive & informative videos in the future?
CK: YES! Many more in fact, but I won’t spoil the surprise (and prop list). Stay tuned to Manhunt Daily for more.
SD: I hope we have a chance to meet while you’re in town.
CK: Your butt. My hand. Lets do it.
SD: I’d be honored! Thanks so much Colby.
CK: Thank you Coochiecoo.
SD: Love ya. Happy Pride!
CK: Ho Ho Ho! Happy Pride Hos and Hoettes!

SISSYDUDE LOVES: Adolf Anton Wilhelm Wohlbrück (MEGA post of films & pics)
1943 directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger starring Roger Livesey, Deborah Kerr and Anton Walbrook.
Acting is in His Blood (via)
By Mark Breen
Picturegoer Weekly, September 25, 1937
The famous young Viennese actor Anton Walbrook, now playing in British films, makes some interesting disclosures.
When a fellow’s ancestors have been actors for three hundred years at least, something gets into the blood. It happened in the case of Anton Walbrook.
He told me all about it this week, as we sat talking in a house he has taken in a quiet corner of Chelsea.
“I had no idea my family had such a long connection with the stage,” he said in his excellent English with the pleasant soft accent of the cultured Austrian. “My father himself did not know. He had been left an orphan at a very early age, and had been adopted by a musician, but at seven he joined a circus and subsequently became a famous clown.
“Oddly enough, although I was practically born in the circus and had been brought up in that atmosphere, I had no interest in it. I wanted always to go to the theatre – that was my only thought.
“One day a few years ago an authority on theatrical history wrote me asking of I were the son of Adolph Wohlbruck the clown; and on hearing that I was he told me I belonged to a family of theatre folk stretching back over three centuries – which did to some extent explain my hankering for the footlights rather than the sawdust.
“He unearthed some distinguished people among my forbears. One great-grandfather, it appears, had composed the libretti of operas by Marschner and Karl Maria von Weber. Ida Schuselka-Wohlbruck, a great-great-great (or so!) grandmother, had been the first Austrian woman to go to France and establish her own theatre, and so on.”
He paused, leaning back in his high backed oak chair and gazing before him as if envisaging that long, long line of entertainers of which he is such a worthy scion.
A picturesque figure he looked, in an open-necked shirt and a blue corduroy-velvet jacket; a handsome fellow, too – but there is something about him which has nothing to do with his looks. He has an air of natural courtesy, a quick sensitivity, a ready intelligence, a warm sympathy. I found him pleasantly easy to interview.
“And you were successful in keeping out of the circus ring?” I pursued.
“Oh, yes! As soon as I left school – at about fifteen – I went on the stage; and there I have been fortunate.”
Fortunate! He has succeeded in making himself one of the most illustrious Continental actors, if that’s what he calls being fortunate.
“But the circus dogged me,” he went on whimsically: “my very first film, about five and a half years ago, was a circus picture, Salto Mortale, directed by E. A. Dupont.”
“And featuring Anna Sten,” I remembered.
“Yes. It did me no good – no good at all!”
Indeed, he does not seem to have come into his own in the film world until he played opposite Paula Wessley in Maskerade, which took Europe by storm, and attracted the attention of Hollywood. But even then, when MGM made an English-speaking version of it, called Escapade, they didn’t invite Adolf Wohlbruck (as he was then) to participate, but tossed the plum role to William Powell.
Then Wohlbruck starred in The Student of Prague, and again Hollywood sat up and took notice, but the young man had no English to speak of – or to speak – and somehow he stayed in Europe.
Then came the German and French versions of Michael Strogoff, in both of which Wohlbruck played the title role, and by this time Hollywood’s resistance was reduced to nil. Radio decided to make an English-speaking version and they decided to have the actor who had already done so well in the other two versions.
“I’m afraid I didn’t see it,” I confessed. “It isn’t quite my type of picture.”
“It isn’t quite my kind of picture, too.” He admitted with a smile; “in fact, I am tired to death of it! But I have to remember that it was that that took me to Hollywood.”
“And you knew very little English, I believe?”
“I had been learning for less than four months. The French version had taken up all my time – that also, you see, was in a foreign language and one more difficult to me than English.”
All the same, the young actor had linguistic ability also in his blood, for his father, who is 73, speaks eleven languages, including Russian.
Incidentally, he is a great friend of another famous clown, Grock, who was once instrumental in saving his life, and with whom Adolf Wohlbruck Sr., has for some years spent part of the summer, at Grock’s home in Italy.
“About this change of name,” I suggested.
“Oh, it is sometimes difficult to remember,” he laughed, “especially when I am signing cheques or autographing portraits. Generally Austrian boys are given three names, and mine are Adolf Anton Wilhelm; and as the chiefs of Radio thought the name Adolf was unromantic they suggested I use the second.”
“And Wohlbruck automatically became Walbrook?” I said. “Well, it’s certainly easier for us. Now tell me – how did you come to make films in England?”
“I was offered a contract with Gaumont-British,” he explained, “which I accepted, but by the time Michael Strogoff was completed, Gaumont-British production activities had come almost to an end, so they asked me if I would be willing to waive the contract, and I agreed.”
“I remember you were to have been in Non-Stop New York”, I remarked. “Go on.”
“I decided, however, to stay in England until it was time to make my next Hollywood picture, because I was determined if possible to learn English without an American accent. And then I had a great stroke of luck: Herbert Wilcox decided I looked so much like the Prince Consort that he must have me to play opposite Anna Neagle in Victoria the Great. And when that was finished he engaged me for the title role in The Rat – and here I still am!”
From the courier of the Czar which he played in Michael Strogoff to the character of Prince Consort in Victoria the Great is a far cry, but not so far as from that to the modern Parisian apache in The Rat – a pretty good test of versatility.
Like most Austrians, Walbrook likes England and the English. I don’t think he was altogether happy in Hollywood – partly because, as he admits, he was heartily tired of Michael Strogoff, and partly because he was still in the floundering stage with his English. I fancy it will be a very different matter when he returns there, with his new command of our language.
“I have my teacher every day,” he told me. “Already, in The Rat, I speak better than I did in Victoria. Fortunately they both call for a foreign accent. I would never attempt to play an English role.”
While we were speaking his mother came is – a frail little lady whose English is as scanty as my German, which is saying a good deal.
Anton has lately taken her for her first trip to Paris, and now she is “seeing London” before returning to her beloved home in Italy.
She is charming, and obviously proud of her distinguished son, but implacably opposed to the change in his name, the necessity for which she cannot understand. I should like to have explained to her that by the time the average Englishman had finished trying to pronounce Wohlbruck it would be very like Walbrook anyway. Why did I never learn German?
To sum up, Anton Walbrook is young, handsome, well-built, dignified, modest, charming, and a highly accomplished actor. I hope we shall have him here for many more pictures.
He is the kind of Continental actor who is an asset to our studios.
