    #TheSevenYearItch (1955)
    When his family goes away for summer vacation, a hitherto faithful husband with an overactive imagination is tempted by a sexy new neighbor.

  2. #BillyWilder nacque 120 anni fa e raggiunse Hollywood per sfuggire dalla persecuzione degli ebrei europei. Qui, in sole 25 pellicole, ridefinì il #cinema statunitense, senza mai pretendere di essere un artista (nonostante i 7 Oscar vinti). Questa commedia è stata giudicata dall'American Film Institute la migliore di sempre nel suo genere. Prego osservare con che dimensioni compare il regista nel manifesto.

  5. #Iwatched #TheApartment (1960) again. #BillyWilder had already sympathized with the role of women in #SomeLikeItHot. This classic looks at their bleak modern work situation. Like that of elevator girl #ShirleyMacLaine who falls for a company boss that cynically uses her for sex. #JackLemmon provides the apartment for such rendezvous. And he delivers his erratic brand of slapstick that barely allows to call this a comedy. In truth it is more of a grim social study that appeals for being a mensch.

  8. Billy Wilder – „Zeugin der Anklage“ (1957)

    Gerichtssäle sind im Kino ja immer auch Bühnen. Als Orte der Inszenierung, kunstvoller Rhetorik und Macht über die Narrative. Genau deshalb funktionieren sie so gut als Filmraum. Wer spricht überzeugender? Wer kontrolliert die Blicke? Wer schreibt womöglich die Geschichte eines Verbrechens um? Dieser ewige Klassiker des Genres von Billy Wilder gehört wohl zu den elegantesten Antworten auf all diese Fragen. Mit einer glatt unglaublichen Marlene Dietrich. (ARTE, Wh.)

  9. I was at an "Oscars and Vienna" guided tour earlier today, including visiting a childhood home of Billy Wilder.

    From 1935 throughout 1967, nearly every year of the Awards included an Austrian winner (some of them in exile).

  10. Of course, the true star of “Irma La Douce” (1963) is this cute little puppy (also pictured: Shirley MacLaine)

  11. The Apartment: Billy Wilder’s Christmas classic is the blueprint for romcoms everywhere

    The 1960 film about a downtrodden insurance worker and his burgeoning crush is full of staccato repartee and unforgettable jokes. It’s barely aged a day

    One of my all time favs, I always watch it at Xmas.
