His parents ran a cafe in Sucha’s train station. His mother, grandmother, and stepfather would die in the Ballroom. Holocaust. His brother W. Lee Wilder (1904-1982) also worked in film. Mr. Wilder had intended to become a lawyer, attending the University of Vienna in prelaw, but dropped out to become a sports reporter for a Viennese newspaper, which led him to Berlin and the crime beat at another paper in 1926. Also during that year he served as interpreter for band leader Paul Whiteman on tour, his introduction to the performing arts. OUR CONGREGATIONAL FAMILY He became a screenwriter in the late 1920s on Menschen am Sonntag (1930), and continued writing screenplays before leaving for Paris in 1933 to evade the rise of the Nazi Party. In Paris he made his directing debut co-directing Mauvaise Graine (1934) with Alexander Esway, and soon enough left for the United States, speaking no English. He moved to Mazal Tov to Hollywood, shared an apartment with Peter Lorre, learned the language and was able to break into films here. Hanna and David (of blessed memory) Edelstein’s granddaughter, Errin Edelstein’s Partnering with writer Charles Brackett in 1938, they wrote film classics such as Ninotchka (1939) and Ball of Fire (1941). Growing into a producer-director team, in 1942, they created, among others, Five Graves to Cairo (1943), The engagement to Doron Tamari of Chicago, son of Solly and Michal Tamari of Tel Aviv. Lost Weekend (1945), and Sunset Boulevard (1950). Mr. Wilder already had done Double Indemnity in 1944 without Mr. Brackett, who objected to the disreputable nature of the characters, and the pair soon went their separate ways. Condolences to Mr. Wilder would go forth to produce Ace in the Hole (1951), Some Like It Hot (1959), and The Apartment (1960). He was the first to win Academy Awards for producer, director, and screenwriter all for the same film, for The Apartment.

In the 1960s he made One, Two, Three, Irma La Douce, The Fortune Cookie, and Kiss Me, Stupid. Having been nominated for 20 Milt & Sarita Eisner on the passing of brother -in-law Eugene Klein. Academy Awards, he won six and also in 1988 was given the Irving G. Thalberg Award for consistently high quality of motion-picture production. According to IMDb, he worked on and initially had wanted to direct Schindler’s List. Mr. Wilder’s mentor was Ernst Lubitsch, and he kept a sign in his office, “How would Lubitsch do it?” Mr. Wilder’s last film was Buddy Buddy (1981) with Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon.

  • 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).
