With a career spanning nearly 50 years and 27 films; director Billy Wilder left an indelible mark on film and American pop culture in general. Four of his greatest films-- Double Indemnity; Sunset Boulevard; The Apartment; and The Lost Weekend-- have become iconic cornerstones of cinema. His work with Marilyn Monroe crafted her most iconic image; while his films with Jack Lemmon; Audrey Hepburn; Walter Matthau and William Holden helped to make the actors into legends. More than that; though; his films routinely tested the boundaries of and defined mid-century America; creating a body of work that is admired and emulated to this day. Two devotees of his works; Danny Reid and Ryan Rinchiuso; now go through each of his films; dissecting their themes; motifs and lessons. From Mauvise Graine in 1934 to Buddy Buddy in 1981; they explore each of the masters works with equal doses of admiration; thoughtfulness; and humor.
