Discussion Questions for Women in Film Gathering, June 19, 2012
1 Discussion Questions for Women in Film Gathering, June 19, 2012: Focal Film: The Apartment (1960; U.S.; Co‐written and Directed by Billy Wilder) Billy Wilder (1906‐2002) was one of the 20th century’s most respected writer/directors working in film. Born in Austria‐Hungary, he first wrote films for the German “national” studio, UFA. He was strongly influenced by a director who had earlier emigrated from Germany to the U.S.—Ernst Lubitsch. Both of these men were noted for their sophisticated comedies and elegantly constructed dramas, and in The Apartment, we may get both. Both men produced films of great distinction, handily earning the title of “auteur” of their works. And both frequently visited notions of gender roles, and relationships between the sexes. Some of Lubitsch’s films you might recognize are Ninotchka (with Greta Garbo and Melvin Douglas), Shop Around the Corner (with Jimmy Stewart and Margaret Sullavan; remade twice, lastly as You’ve Got Mail), and To Be or Not To Be (with Jack Benny and Carole Lombard). Important Billy Wilder films include Ninotchka (which he co‐wrote for Lubitsch), and the many films he both wrote or co‐wrote and directed, such as Double Indemnity (with Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray), The Lost Weekend (with Ray Milland), Sunset Boulevard (with Gloria Swanson and William Holden), Stalag 17 (with William Holden), Sabrina (with Audrey Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart, and William Holden), The Seven Year Itch (with Marilyn Monroe), Some Like It Hot (with Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, and Jack Lemmon), Irma la Douce (with Shirley MacLaine and Jack Lemmon), and The Fortune Cookie (the first pairing of Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau; set and partially shot in Cleveland, BTW). -

Notes on Double Indemnity
Double Indemnity (Wilder 1944) Hitchcock sent Billy Wilder a telegram after the opening telling him how much he liked it. This film came out in 1944, the same year David O. Selznick released Since You Went Away (1944). Part of the campaign for the latter film were major ads that declared, "'Since You Went Away' are the four most important words in movies since 'Gone With the Wind'!" which Selznick had also produced. Billy Wilder hated the ads and decided to counter by personally buying his own trade paper ads which read, "'Double Indemnity' are the two most important words in movies since 'Broken Blossoms'!" referring to the 1919 D.W. Griffith classic. Selznick was not amused and even considered legal action against Wilder. Alfred Hitchcock (who had his own rocky relationship with Selznick) took out his own ads which read, "The two most important words in movies today are 'Billy Wilder'!" Jewish paranoia fear random violence Urban civilized violence Driven to Darkness Jewish Emigre Directors and the Rise of Film Noir (Rutgers University Press, 2009) By Vincent Brook We've long viewed the film noir genre as the cinematic descendent, the culmination even, of 1920s German Expressionism as formulated at Berlin’s UFA Studios by figures like Fritz Lang, Robert Siodmak, Fred Zinnemann, Billy Wilder and Edgar Ulmer. What has been less discussed—and which Vincent Brook tackles so nimbly and thoroughly in Driven to Darkness—is the role Jewishness played in their movies and sensibility, specifically their Jewishness within the often profoundly anti-Semitic German and Austro-Hungarian empire. -
Billy Wilder (1906-2002)
Billy Wilder (1906-2002) “People copy, people steal. Most of the pictures they make nowadays are loaded down with special effects. I couldn't do that. I quit smoking because I couldn't reload my Zippo..” — Billy Wilder, quoted in The New York Times An Austrian Legend He was born Samuel Wilder on June 22, 1906 in a remote corner of a remote province of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (now part of Poland). He died at his home in Beverly Hills, California on March 27, 2002. In the intervening 95 years, an impressive life story unfolded, a life that was to have a lasting impact on Hollywood and world cinema. Wilder's mother nicknamed her young son “Billie” because she had seen the Buffalo Bill Wild West show as a teenager. By the time Billie was four years old (the “Billy” spelling came after Wilder was in the U.S.), the family had a fine home in Vienna's toney First District, living both there and in Kraców until the First World War tore the old Empire apart and created hard times for the Wilders and all Austrians. The recent Broadway and London musical productions of Sunset Boulevard, based on Billy Wilder's 1950 movie of the same name, and the 1995 remake of Sabrina, Wilder's 1954 romantic tale featuring Audrey Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart, and William Holden, are good illustrations of how director Billy Wilder's films tend to endure, much like the man himself. Wilder was still active in his nineties, even if he was no longer directing award-winning movies. -
The Representation of Foreigners in the Films of Billy Wilder
http://dx.doi.org/10.7592/EJHR2019.7.1.chiaro European Journal of Humour Research 7 (1) 7–23 www.europeanjournalofhumour.org An Austrian in Hollywood: the representation of foreigners in the films of Billy Wilder Delia Chiaro University of Bologna, Italy [email protected] Giuseppe De Bonis University of Bologna, Italy [email protected] Abstract This paper examines the work of Billy Wilder whose rich cinematic production frequently involves the collision of different languages as well as the clash of dissimilar cultures. As an Austrian living in the USA, the director had the privilege of gaining insight into his adopted culture from the point of view of an outsider – a bilingual “other” who made 25 films in almost 40 years of working in Hollywood. His films recurrently depict foreign characters at which Wilder pokes fun whether they are English, French, German, Italian, Russian or even the Americans of his adopted country. More precisely, the paper offers an overview of the multi-modal portrayals of diverse “foreigners,” with examples taken from a small but significant sample of Wilder’s films. The subtitling of dialogue in the secondary language for the target English-speaking audience and the specific translation solutions are not within the scope of this discussion, instead we focus on the comic collision of two languages and more importantly, on the way Wilder implements humour to highlight the absurdity of cultural difference. In other words, our main goal is to explore two or more languages in contrast when they become a humorous trope. Keywords: humour, multilingualism, cultural stereotypes, representation of foreigners, multilingual humour 1. -
Dossiers Billy Wilder, a Director Between Two Cultures
Dossiers Billy Wilder, a director between two cultures: behind appearances, beneath allusions (Part 1) Luciano Mariani [email protected] Go to online version "I am a mélange" Billy Wilder 1. Introduction The seventh year itch (1955) Some like it hot (1959) A breeze from the subway passing below lifts Marilyn's skirt: this image has become a 20th century icon, and "Nobody's perfect" one of the best-known final punchlines of a movie. And yet, probably most of us would not be able to remember the name of the director of these films - Billy Wilder. Unlike other directors, whose name is extremely popular (Alfred Hitchcock, Woody Allen, Stanley Kubrick ...), Billy Wilder's name is almost forgotten, also because , unlike many of his colleagues, his films have not received a great deal of critical attention, and the available bibliography is relatively scarce (Note 1)(while there are several biographical works as well as interviews, among which Cameron Crowe's basic one - Note 2). And yet, Billy Wilder has authored enormously popular comedies, noir masterpieces like Double indemnity (1945) and powerful dramas like Sunset Boulevard (1950), and his career has spanned fifty years of "classical" Hollywood cinema, bringing him twelve Academy Award nominations as screenwriter and eight nominations as director, six actual Academy Awards, four of his films included in the list of the greatest American movies created by the American Film Institute, and a number of movies considered as "worthy of preservation" by the National Historic Register greater than any other director (Note 3). All this can partly be explained by Wilder's indifference, if not open contempt, for a vision of the director as "auteur" (which was typical of several film movements associated with the French Nouvelle Vague) and for the very work of movie critics.
