'Directed by Billy Wilder' film series
The work of one of cinema’s finest directors is the subject of librarian Doug Swiszcz’s four-week film lecture series, Directed by Billy Wilder. One of several Jewish émigrés who established artistic careers in Hollywood after fleeing Europe during Hitler’s rise to power, Wilder was as successful with dramatic films as he was with comedies. In fact, his movies are often a deft blending of the two genres. The series begins on March 4 with Double Indemnity.
