The Sublimely Subversive Films of Billy Wilder IN-PERSON AT DOROT

Writer/director Billy Wilder (1906-2002) made social satire and scalding comedy look easy. This Polish-born and German-raised master behind The Apartment, Some Like It Hot, and Sabrina captured the outrageous quirkiness of the USA better than anyone. Yet Wilder was just as comfortable with hard-hitting dramas: Double Indemnity, The Lost Weekend, Ace in the Hole, Stalag 17, and Witness for the Prosecution, to name but a few. And let us also not forget Sunset Blvd., Wilder’s timeless masterpiece indicting Hollywood cruelty. Join film historian Max Alvarez for the laughter and drama behind the great Billy Wilder and his unforgettable movies.
