Writer/director Billy Wilder (1906-2002) made social satire and scalding comedy look easy. This Polish-born and German-raised genius behind The Apartment, Some Like It Hot, and Sabrina captured the outrageous quirkiness of the USA better than most of his Hollywood contemporaries. But there was a serious Billy Wilder, too - the master behind such hard-hitting dramas as Double Indemnity, The Lost Weekend, and Sunset Blvd. Join film historian Max Alvarez for the laughter and drama behind the great Billy Wilder and his unforgettable movies.
