Directed by Billy Wilder
Screenplay by Billy Wilder and Charles Bracket, based upon the play “Connie Goes Home”, by Edward Childs Carpenter, and the story “Sunny Goes Home” by Fannie Kilbourne
Starring Ginger Rogers and Ray Milland
If I asked you – and I mean you specifically – to name Billy Wilder’s greatest films, chances are you’d name some, or all, of the following:
- Double Indemnity
- The Lost Weekend
- Sunset Boulevard
- The Apartment
- Ace in the Hole
- Stalag 17
- Some Like it Hot
And because the Billy Wilder oeuvre runs so deep, there’s even room for the contrarian, or smartass, to include some of Wilder’s lesser films and not be laughed off for it. So, you go ahead and do you, and throw The Fortune Cookie and One, Two, Three into the mix. Me, I’m throwing Avanti![1]
