{"product_id":"billy-wilder-isbn-9782866426095","title":"Billy Wilder","description":"\u003cp\u003eBilly Wilder (USA, 1906-2002) is an undisputed master of American comedy, taking situation comedy to the edge of the absurd in \u003ci\u003eSome Like it Hot\u003c\/i\u003e (1959). But he also made pessimistic melodramas such as \u003ci\u003eSunset Boulevard\u003c\/i\u003e (1950), in which Gloria Swanson gives a moving performance as a fallen star, and a few fine examples of film noir, such as \u003ci\u003eDouble Indemnity\u003c\/i\u003e (1944) et \u003ci\u003eWitness for the Prosecution\u003c\/i\u003e (1957). Wilder worked with the greatest stars and his filmography is studded with classic scenes, including Marilyn Monroe playing the banjo in \u003ci\u003eSome Like it Hot\u003c\/i\u003e or holding her billowing skirt over the subway outlet in \u003ci\u003eSeven Year Itch \u003c\/i\u003e(1955), Jack Lemmon draining spaghetti with a tennis racket in \u003ci\u003eThe Apartment\u003c\/i\u003e (1960) and Shirley MacLaine as a Parisian streetwalker in \u003ci\u003eIrma la Douce\u003c\/i\u003e (1963). His humour is often incisive and his vision of the world somewhat cynical, but all his characters experience a moment of truth and, for this reason, Billy Wilder is primarily a great moralist. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phaidon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44897541161189,"sku":"NP9782866426095","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/billy-wilder-isbn-9782866426095","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
