One of the funniest films of all time
Wilder is one of the best screenwriter/directors that there has ever been. His partnership with Diamond reached its creschendo with this magnificent screenplay. Winner of the best screenplay in 1960 The Apartment is one of the funniest films that has ever been made. It is the best example of how to weave drama and comedy into a seamless whole.After this Billy Wilders career never reached the same heights. Which is unfortunate because while you are reading The Apartment you realise just how truly great he was. The film was named in the AFI 100, just read the screenplay and wish you could write anything half this good. ... Read more

Excerpt: Sunset Boulevard (Sunset Blvd. onscreen) is a 1950 American film noir directed and co-written by Billy Wilder, and produced and co-written by Charles Brackett. It was named after the boulevard that runs through Los Angeles and Beverly Hills, California. The film stars William Holden as an unsuccessful screenwriter and Gloria Swanson as a faded movie star who draws him into her fantasy world, in which she dreams of making a triumphant return to the screen. Erich von Stroheim, Nancy Olson, Fred Clark, Lloyd Gough and Jack Webb play supporting roles. Director Cecil B. DeMille and gossip columnist Hedda Hopper play themselves, and the film includes cameo appearances by leading silent film figures Buster Keaton, H. B. Warner and Anna Q. Nilsson. Praised by many critics when first released, Sunset Boulevard was nominated for eleven Academy Awards and won three. It is widely accepted as a classic, often cited as one of the most noteworthy films of American cinema. Deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the U.S. Library of Congress in 1989, Sunset Boulevard was included in the first group of films selected for preservation in the National Film Registry...http://booksllc.net/?id=76368 ...

Product Description
This book is a richly entertaining biography of both screenwriter-director Wilder and his milieu - Hollywood. It is a fascinating montage of a man whose talents and quirks, virtues and faults, are endlessly engrossing. The author presents a richly anecdotal account of the man who, from an inauspicious start in Germany as a paid escort & dancing partner, rose to become the very heart & soul of the film industry.Electrifying opinions of those with whom he has worked and the original casting choices for his films are often surprising: Mae West was his first choice for Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard and Mary Pickford was his second! There are numerous black & white photos included. ... Read more

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Billy Wilder was an Austrian-born American artist, journalist, filmmaker, screenwriter and producer, whose career spanned more than 50 years and 60 films. He is regarded as one of the most brilliant and versatile filmmakers of Hollywood's golden age. Wilder is one of only five people who have won three Academy Awards for producing, directing and writing the same film. He first became a screenwriter in the late 1920s while living in Berlin. After the rise of Adolf Hitler, Wilder, who was Jewish, left for Paris, where he made his directorial debut. He relocated to Hollywood in 1933, and in 1939 he had a hit as a co-writer of the screenplay to the screwball comedy Ninotchka. ... Read more
