There is no question this is one of the greatest American directors and screenwriters of all time. With the likely exception of Hitchcock, I doubt that any director has ever been more discussed, dissected or written about. His work spanned the 1930s to the 1960s and included stark dramas with such taboo subjects as alcoholism, adultery, kept boy toys and prostitution to brilliant comedies with witty, often cynical dialogue. Billy Wilder was a genius at his craft. I expect he was an even better screenwriter than director but it is the director that is our focus.
