RIP, Billy Wilder: I'm late to the line on
this one. Billy Wilder was an amazing director. He is regularly lauded for some classic dramas such as Double Indemnity, The Lost Weekend and Sunset Boulevard, but his comedies were even better. Some Like it Hot, The Seven Year Itch and The Apartment are universally renowned as some of the best movie comedies ever. My favorite: The little known comedy One, Two, Three - James Cagney's second to last role and the best Cold War movie ever.
Here's the full list of credits. Never has the phrase "They don't make 'em like that anymore," been more true.
