A director must be a policeman, a midwife, a psychoanalyst, a sycophant and a bastard.

Billy Wilder

Austrian-born American filmmaker, screenwriter, producer, artist and journalist Billy Wilder is regarded as one of the most brilliant and versatile filmmakers of Hollywood‘s golden age. With ‘The Apartment’, Wilder became the first person to win Academy Awards as producer, director and screenwriter for the same film.

Born Samuel Wilder in Sucha, Austria (now part of Poland) in 22 June 1906, Billy Wilder spent his early professional life as a reporter in Vienna. In 1926 he relocated to Berlin, where his reputation as a journalist grew. But by then a different dream had taken hold - the movies. Selling his first script to an extremely grateful and quite naked producer he helped hide from the jealous boyfriend of a neighboring young lady, Wilder’s career as a screenwriter began. After several successful years in the German film industry, Wilder fled to Paris a week after the Reichstag fire in 1933.

Ten months later he emigrated to America, where an initially difficult time in Hollywood gave way to employment as a screenwriter.

In 1938 Wilder was teamed with Charles Brackett. Through their scripts for such films as ‘Bluebeard’s Eight Wife’, ‘Ninotchka’, and ‘Ball of Fire’, they became the best-known and most respected writing team in Hollywood. This success enabled Wilder to fight for and win his first American directing assignment, the now-classic comedy, ‘The Major and the Minor’, and “the Billy Wilder Film” was born.

“The Billy Wilder film.” The phrase is at once as specific and difficult to casually categorise as the filmmaker himself. Billy Wilder, the master of the American comedy who wrote and directed the grand melodramas of ’Sunset Boulevard’ and ‘Double Indemnity’. The hard-hitting dramatist who created the funniest movie ever made, ’Some Like It Hot’. The “great cynic” who steeped us in the lyric romanticism of ‘Love in the Afternoon’ and ‘Avanti!’. The “classic romantic” who confronted us with the harsh realities of ‘Ace in the Hole’. Simultaneously one of the most European and American of all directors, the man refuses to stand still long enough to allow us our neat and easy definition. But, to put it in his own words, “Nobody’s perfect.”

Through his work on films as daringly varied as ‘The Lost Weekend’, ‘A Foreign Affair’, ‘The Apartment’, and ‘The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes’, this “imperfect genius” has proven himself a true master of all aspects of the language of film, as comfortable and adept t telling a story thorough his brilliant visual style as through his unparalleled dialogue. And although the characters, the locales, the tone and genres may change, one subject seems to remain constant - the bizarre and glorious state know as the human comedy. Through the drama and the farce and the romance and despair, what we’re watching up there is, as in all great art, a reflection of ourselves.

Often running into criticism for his presentation of taboo topics such as alcoholism and prostitution, the high quality of the films redeemed him in the eyes of both the public and the industry. Of the many great stars he directed, Marilyn Monroe, Marlene Dietrich, Shirley MacLaine, Jimmy Stewart and Jack Lemmon are only a few.

The late 1960s and 1970s, however, were not as kind to Wilder. His brand of cynicism, irony and satire were out of step with this generation’s view of peace, love, revolution and individual experimentation

A 7 time Oscar winner, Steven Spielberg called him "the greatest writer/director who ever lived." Here's some amazing footage from his birthday party where he was joined by a host of famous directors.

Jean Cocteau

Patrick Mauriès

Assouline, New York 2003, 80 pages, 16,5 x 22,1 cm, hardcover, ISBN 2 84323 603 7

First published Editions Assouline, Paris 1998

Patrick Mauriès concentrates on the important and unsual aspects of Cocteau's life and work, considering the strange and mythical world he invented and the enchantment of his creations.

Virtuose de la parole et du trait, personnalité médiatique avant l'heure, " Paganini du violon d'Ingres ", selon ses propres termes, Jean Cocteau ne réduisit pas l'art à une esthétique, mais en fit un véritable art de vivre. C'est ce qui assure sa modernité. " Un coup de baguette, et les livres sont écrits, le cinéma tourne, la plume dessine, le théâtre joue. " Patrick Mauriès esquisse une cartographie personnelle de ce " prince des poètes ", s'attachant en particulier à mettre en relief le génie des lieux dont il fit preuve tout au long de son existence, et la magie singulière, inspirée des trucages de cirque ou de baraque foraine, qui habite chacune de ses créations.

George Harrison (25 February 1943 – 29 November 2001)was a musician, singer-songwriter, and film producer. He is best known for being the lead guitarist of the Beatles. He would often be referred to as the “ quiet Beatle.” Various blues and early rock and roll artists heavily influenced Harrison and the rest of the Beatles. But, after some time in India, Harrison was influenced and embraced Indian music, culture, and religion, which helped broaden the scope of the band’s music. Harrison also contributed to songwriting for the band. The songs he wrote include “ Taxman,” While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” and one of my favorites, “ Here Comes the Sun.”He was one of the first members of the groups looking to work on his music and branch out to new and different sounds. He briefly left the group while recording the album Let I Be. but he came after much convincing from the other three. After the Beatles parted ways, Harrison released several best-selling singles and albums. In 1971, he helped organize a Concert for Bangladesh with the help of Indian musician and mentor Ravi Shankar. He was a producer assisting many artists on the Beatles’ record label Apple. He co-founded the supergroup The Traveling Wilburys. 1988. He collaborated with several artists, including his former bandmates Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, Eric Clapton, and Tom Petty, most notably Ravi Shankar. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame once as a member of the Beatles in 1988 and posthumously for his solo career in 2004; he is ranked 11th on Rolling Stone magazine’s 100 greatest guitarists. Harrison also served as a music and film producer. He founded Dark Horse Records in 1974 and co-founded HandMade Films In 1978. He even appeared as himself on one of my favorite episodes of The Simpsons. Harrison is still a significant influence on many artists. He was one of the unique Beatles.

In memory of Edward R. Pressman, movie producer and patron of the arts

I was saddened to hear of the recent passing of Ed Pressman. Ed was a friend and a collaborator of mine for many years. I like to think of him as a patron of the arts because he supported a lot of young filmmakers like me as we were just coming into the industry, and he wanted nothing in return other than hard work and appreciation for the effort he put forth setting up pitches with execs and financiers and meetings with actors and actresses. During the most difficult spell of my career, when I needed it the most, he was there with support- both financially and otherwise. It’s not an exaggeration to say Ed kept me alive, kept my family fed, my bills paid and my mortgage paid with options on numerous scripts I had written on spec (Splatter Sisters, Cruisin’ for a Bruisin’) and with rewriting / ghost-writing jobs for big budget projects (Beijing Bullet- pictured above with director Rob Cohen at a meeting in Beverly Hills). 

I enjoyed spending time with Ed and hearing him tell stories about filmmakers I idolized - like Oliver Stone. Once before a meeting at a private club in Manhattan (jackets required) he told me how he discovered Arnold Schwarzenegger and gave him his first big break in Conan. He knew I loved hip hop and would tell me hilarious stories of smoking weed with DMX- apparently DMX said Ed was the only person he’d ever met who could smoke him under the table. And of course I picked Ed’s brain almost constantly about Terrance Malick and what it was like to work with a living legend. 

Ed Pressman was absolutely a one of a kind. No film producer has ever come before quite like him, nor will ever come after. He deserves to be celebrated. If there were more producers like Ed out there today, independent film in general would be better off. He was unselfish, generous with his time and money and an old fashioned fan of movies who was in it for all the right reasons. He will be missed. My condolences to his wife Annie and son Sam Pressman. With love - ABL.
