Wasn't there a movie where they solved this problem by filling their
pockets with dirt, then slowly letting it fall down inside their pant legs
as they walked around the prison compound. Stalag 17?




The 'Great Escape'.

Thanks!

I think in Stalag 17, they stored a lot in the rafters of their
building.

IIRC that movie led to Hogan's Heroes.

I've queued up both The Great Escape and Stalag 17 for my next movie night.
As I recall, both are excellent.

Hogan's Heroes is also one of my favorites, although I'm currently in
burnout mode. MEtv has been airing two episodes every weeknight for as many
years as I can remember, so I've pretty much got the dialog down pat by
now.
