Te0to1 Billy Wilder 1 Hellmuth Karasek, Nadie es perfe to, Mondadori, 2000 Billy Wilder superar=a el traspi,s taquillero de B,same, tonto con su siguiente film, EN BANDEJA DE PLATA, que al contrario que el anterior tuvo un funcionamiento comercial mucho me:or a pesar de seguir las mismas pautas de la mayor=a de las comedias de su director: empleo del blanco y negro, traAado realista de persona:es y ambientes, y una mirada demoledora sobre diversos aspectos arraigados en la mBs estricta cotidianidad. Al igual que en El apartamento, 4no, dos, tres y B,same, tonto, la obsesi5n por aquello que suele llamarse 8el triunfo;, consistente en ganar rBpidamente mucho dinero por la v=a del ascenso profesional en una gran empresa o del ,-ito en una actividad popular bien remunerada, es lo que mueve la acci5n de EN BANDEJA DE PLATA. Pero, a diferencia de pobres desgraciados como el Ba4ter de El apartamento o el Orville de B,same, tonto - en el fondo incapaces de llevar sus ambiciones hasta sus Gltimas consecuencias-, Willie Gingrich (Walter Matthau), el persona:e arribista de EN BANDEJA DE PLATA es, en cierto sentido, un ,mulo del Mc8amara de 4no, dos, tres: un manipulador que se vale de su profesi5n de abogado para, al igual que el director de la filial de .oca-.ola, alterar la apariencia de los hechos en su propio beneficio. En ambos casos, tanto las maniobras de Mc8amara para convertir al :oven comunista radical en un arist5crata con vistas a asegurarse un cargo directivo como las de Gingrich para sacar la mayor ta:ada posible de una indemniAaci5n por las lesiones supuestamente incurables infligidas a su propio cu9ado, el reportero Harry Hinkle, se saldarBn con un rotundo fracaso por culpa del 8factor humano;: Mc8amara perderB el puesto de traba:o que anhelaba en beneficio del yerno que ,l mismo ha 8creado; para contentar a su :efe, y Gingrich perderB su e-pectativa de lucrarse a causa de la imposibilidad de mantener la farsa por parte de Harry. No de:a de resultar chocante que John 2uston pase por ser el cineasta del fracaso por antonomasia, siendo as= que la filmograf=a de Wilder, tanto sus comedias como sus pel=culas dramBticas, contiene un complet=simo catBlogo de sue9os rotos, anhelos destruidos y frustraciones variadas. Sir ir mBs le:os, hay en EN BANDEJA DE PLATA una cierta sensaci5n como de determinismo propiciada por la inserci5n de hasta diecis,is r5tulos que, a modo de cap=tulos, van delimitando las distintas fases del relato, conduci,ndolo hacia su sarcBstica conclusi5n. A pesar de todo no hay en Wilder el menor asomo de moralismo, ni tan siquiera de fatalismo, sino la mera constataci5n de la imprevisibilidad de la conducta humana: ningGn sue9o o ambici5n, ningGn plan, maniobra o maquinaci5n pueden ser seguros al cien por cien si estBn en manos de seres humanos. Ni siquiera tratBndose de alguien tan poco 8humano; (o segGn como se mire, 8demasiado humano;) como Willie Gingrich, sin duda el gran persona:e de EN BANDEJA DE PLATA; no s5lo gracias a la admirable interpretaci5n de Walter Matthau -creador de un prototipo que este gran actor repetir=a en numerosas ocasiones posteriores, entre ellas para el propio Wilder en Primera plana-, sino tambi,n por la espl,ndida caracteriAaci5n que del mismo brinda el realiAador: v,ase su manera de robar las monedas de un bote de donativos para las madres solteras (sic) cuando necesita cambio para telefonear, su Bcida opini5n sobre Abraham incoln (8buen presidente y mal abogado;), o la aut,ntica representaci5n teatral que lleva a cabo en el reducido espacio de su penoso despacho mientras negocia el monto de la indemniAaci5n con los demandados. A pesar de que, en buena medida, EN BANDEJA DE PLATA 8es;, sobre todo, Gingrich y sus artima9as legales, su ruindad y su cinismo, fruto de su agudo conocimiento de lo peor de las personas (no resisto la tentaci5n de citar una de sus frases lapidarias: —2l matrimonio es como el e6;rcito. Todo el mundo reniega de ;l, pero te sorprender+a ver cu<ntos se reenganchan“), lo cierto es que la pel=cula no descuida, ni mucho menos, otros aspectos de inter,s. EstB, por un lado, la relaci5n de sincera amistad que se establece entre Harry y 0uther —Boom Boom“ Jackson (0on 0ich), el :ugador de fGtbol americano que le lesion5 accidentalmente y que, ignorante del timo de Gingrich, cree que ha de:ado a Harry paral=tico: a partir de ese momento, un remordido —Boom Boom“ se entregarB en cuerpo y alma al cuidado de Harry, aGn a costa de malograr su propia carrera deportiva y de empeAar a darse a la bebida. Por otro lado, estB la reaparici5n en la vida de Harry de su e--esposa, Sandy (Judi West), atra=da por un falso sentimiento de piedad que no esconde sino la avaricia ante la posibilidad de sacar ta:ada del plan del abogado. a descripci5n de la relaci5n paralela de Harry con 8Boom Boom; y con Sandy proporciona la clave del film: en ella reside el germen de la reacci5n final de Harry quien, harto de la farsa, la arruinarB demostrando que no estB invBlido. o que EN BANDEJA DE PLATA sugiere de una manera ciertamente elegante es que, en realidad, la aut,ntica 8historia de amor; de la pel=cula es la que e-iste entre Harry y 8Boom Boom;: este Gltimo le regala al primero una costosa silla de ruedas y luego dedica la mayor parte de su tiempo a cuidarle, hacerle compa9=a y prepararle la comida, convirti,ndose de hecho en una especie de 8esposa; de Harry. as escenas que comparten ambos hombres guardan, en este sentido, raAonables ecos del tono delicado y respetuoso que dominaba las que protagoniAaban Ba4ter y Fran en El apartamento, y Wilder tiene el acierto de no cargar las tintas en esta ir5nica variante de sus propios postulados. Por el contrario, en lo que se refiere al persona:e de Sandy, Wilder de:a bien claro ya desde su presentaci5n -conversando con tel,fono con Harry mientras que, detrBs suyo, se intuye la presencia de su Gltimo amante en la ducha- que la mu:er va a actuar en el relato movida por un inter,s que nada tiene que ver con el amoroso.

A sessão de dia 13 tem lugar na Esplanada e decorre com intervalo _____________________________ Antes de mais, convém sublinhar — nunca é demais fazê-lo — que neste filme nasceu “the odd couple”: Jack Lemmon - Walter Matthau. Se Lemmon, em 1966, era já uma celebridade (e um actor- fetiche de Wilder, em obras como Some Like It Hot, The Apartment e Irma La Douce) foi The Fortune Cookie que fez de Walter Matthau, uma estrela de idêntico brilho. No ano seguinte, The Odd Couple (Gene Saks, 1967 em adaptação da peça de Neil Simon) confirmava o triunfo da parelha.
