Podcast appearances and mentions of Billy Wilder

Dedicamos dos horas y media al cineasta Billy Wilder o, como decía Fernando Trueba, Dios. El guionista y director de cine ha marcado la historia de la cultura universal con películas como 'Con faldas y a lo loco', 'El apartamento' o 'El crepúsculo de los dioses'. Luis Alegre y Fernando Trueba visitan el programa para hablar de Wilder, a raíz de la publicación de 'BILLY WILDER: ANATOMÍA DE UN GENIO', capitaneado por Alegre. En esta conversación, Trueba cuenta cómo fue su estrecha relación con Billy Wilder, las conversaciones, el día que le dedicó el Oscar por Belle Epoque o la entrevista que le hizo para El País en 1991 donde el director contó una anécdota inédita de Ava Gardner. Guillermo Balmori nos contó cómo fue su vida, desde su nacimiento en Sucha, antiguo Imperio astrohúngaro, su llegada a Hollywood o sus amistades con actores como Jack Lemmon. 

Michelle is back to continue our look at the films of Billy Wilder. This time we look at the the three films he made which start Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon: The Fortune Cookie, The Front Page and Buddy Buddy. Are these three late career Wilder films lost classics or signs the old man didn't have his old fastball? Hmm, well, let's just say these are not the best films in Wilder's catalog...

Billy Wilderrekin jarraitzen dugu Nosferatu Zikloaren barne eskainiko diren pelikulei buruz hitz egiten eta gaur Ball of Fire eta The Major and the Minor izan dira protagonistak. Aurreratzen dizuegu Josemi Beltranek, Donostia Kulturako zinema saileko zuzendariak, oso ondo baloratzen dituela.---Seguimos con Billy Wilder conociendo las películas que se ofrecen dentro del Ciclo Nosferatu y hoy ha sido el turno de Ball of Fire y The Major and the Minor. Os adelantamos que ambas películas las valora muy positivamente Josemi Beltrán, director del área de cine de Donostia Kultura.

Für Billy Wilder war er der Thomas Mann der Reportage. Bekannt ist Egon Erwin Kisch auch als der "Klassiker des Journalismus". Rasend, akribisch, mitunter fantasievoll und vor allem mit Leib und Seele bei seiner Sache. Die bis heute Bestand hat. Günter Wallraff, Walther Schmieding, Isabella Kolar www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Aus den Archiven

Billy Wilder once made a romance in the ruins of post–World War II Berlin, so it makes sense that he'd also have the nerve to write and direct a full-fledged comedy about POWs in a Nazi prison camp. With his 1953 picture, "Stalag 17," the wacky set-ups just keep on coming. Like what we do here on the Filmographers? Then please consider joining our Patreon!

In complete charge of his destiny, Wilder followed the triumph of Sunset Boulevard with Ace in the Hole, perhaps his most personal movie—certainly his darkest.

"Im Swimmingpool des einstigen Stummfilmstars Norma Desmond wird die Leiche des Drehbuchautors Joe Gillis gefunden. In Rückblenden erzählt Joe vom Jenseits aus die dramatischen Geschehnisse - von dem Tag an, als er sich auf der Flucht vor seinen Gläubigern auf das verfallende Anwesen der vergessenen Diva verirrte. Aufgrund seiner Geldsorgen nimmt er ihr Angebot an, ein von ihr geschriebenes Drehbuch zu bearbeiten, von dem sie sich ein großartiges Leinwand-Comeback erhofft."

“Sunset Boulevard”, come si chiama in lingua originale, è il cult del 1950 da non perdere per gli amanti del genere noir. Il film si apre con il protagonista già morto, riverso nella piscina di una lussuosa villa di Los Angeles: a raccontare come ci sia finito è proprio lui, attraverso un lungo flashback che percorre tutto il film. Siete pronti a scoprire il colpevole? Il film ottenne 11 candidature agli Oscar.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Julian, Madeline, and Emilio continue their cycle of Oscar-Worthy Rom-Coms with a Suggestion Box episode focusing on "The Apartment," Billy Wilder's unforgettable multi-Oscar-winning film from 1960. The trio dig into this classic tale of work-related romance by discussing its iconic performances from Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine, and Fred MacMurray, the dynamics of the love triangle it portrays, and how the film's transgressive qualities stand the test of time. Anchoring the conversation are a slew of favorable comparisons to other films, new and old, along with appreciations of film's fine-tuned aesthetic details and a tally of a word Wilder and co-writer I.A.L.

El programa de hoy lo llamamos ESTRELLAS. Comienza Isabel confesando que vive na crisis de estálo. Sí, eso existe. Y que no sabe bien que ponerse. Hoy no va a hablar “de una forma transversal”de Marlene Dietrich, la famosísima leyenda alemana que emigró a los USA. Billy Wilder decía que Marlene era sinónimo de glamour, claro, que no conocía a Isabel Calderón… Aprenderemos cosas como: “es didicil ir de blanco en invierno a no ser que sea un blanco hueso…”. OK. Next. También nos habla del color pantone de la año que es., oh sorpresa, BLANCO.  Repasa su carrera en Alemania y en los EEUU. ‘El ángel azul', ‘Morocco', y otras. Y tambo su estilo: totalmente adelantado a su tiempo radical… PAN-TA-LO-NES. También acuchamos a Isabel definir a la Dietrich como, atentas:  “la Primera Marta Sánchez de la historia…”. Genial figura dentro y fuera de la pantalla. Acompañamos a conocerla.  Lucía nos descubre a “una personaja de la contracultura neoyorquina”, Brigid Berlin. Una de las artistas más importantes en el Nueva York de los años 70.  De familia de recursos: los amigos de su papá eran Hoover o Richard Nixon, con lo que vivió su infancia rodeada de una élite económica y republicana. Su madre le daba, cuando ella tenía 6 años, un dólar por cada kilo que bajara… EJEM.  En los 60 se distancia se su familia y como tenia un trust de estos de los ricos yankees en que le según sus reglas le daban 100.000 dólares si se casaba… pues se casó. Con un señor homosexual. Su familia, oh, otra sorpresa, la repudió. Conoció a Andy Warhol y se pasaba la vida en su estudio. A Warhol le fascinaba su capacidad de mezclar lo público y lo privado. Colaboraron mucho tiempo. Performances, drogas y creación, mucha creación, incluyendo CHELSEA GIRLS, una de la películas experimentales más flipantes de todos los tiempos.  Conoce la historia de esta mujer que documentó como nadie el Nueva York de los 60 y 70.  _____________________________________________ Este programa y todo lo demás es posible gracias a personas como tú.

Hier ist der zweite Teil unseres Live-Spektakels aus dem wunderbaren Schmidtchen in Hamburg. Diesmal geht es direkt in die Vollen: Torsten erklärt, warum man ein neugeborenes Baby keinem Pavian anvertrauen sollte. Die unvergleichliche Ina Müller verrät uns ihre Lieblingsfilme, Musicals und Serien (der Name Kevin Costner taucht dabei verdächtig oft auf) und Gerry erinnert sich daran, wie Reiner Schöne und er in der Vergangenheit bereits einmal für dieselbe Produktion gearbeitet haben: Gerry hinter und Reiner vor der Kamera. Darüber hinaus erzählt Reiner Schöne, wie seine Karriere in der damaligen DDR begann und ihn sogar bis nach Hollywood führte, womit er natürlich die Vorfreude auf seine im März erscheinende Autobiografie ordentlich anheizt.

FOUTJE IN DE EERSTE 2 MINUTEN, JE HOORT DE TRAILER VAN DONNIE DARKO OP DE ACHTERGROND.DE EDIT FILE IS PER ONGELUK VERWIJDERD, SORRY VOOR HET ONGEMAK!Joeplaboem, hier is aflevering 67 van de Movie Matters Podcast.In deze aflevering weer een hoop filmgebral, waarbij Peer, Poelie en Zwino geen thema uit de weg gaan.Na een rondje film-café-praat in de De Drie van de Movie Matters, wordt de bulk van de aflevering aangesneden, met de De Cinemaat. Ditmaal was het aan Zwino om te kiezen en hij kon niet anders dan de ravissante tandem Sydney-Amanda aan bod te laten komen, in de box-office-hit “THE HOUSEMAID”.Onze Echo-ers Poelie en Peer zochten (en zochten ver) wat er zoal kon weerklinken. Peer dacht onmiddellijk aan Erich Von Stroheim (what a name!), die gestalte gaf aan een butler in het Billy Wilder vehikel “SUNSET BLVD”. Uiteraard een uitgelezen kans om aan Zwino nog eens een BW'tje voor te schotelen. Poelie ging dan weer op het mysterieuze thrillerpad en kwam voor zichzelf uit bij een first-time-viewing van een cult-klassieker met konijn, namelijk “DONNIE DARKO”. Too weird, or good weird?Een heerlijk ensembletje, als u het ons vraagt.

Billy Wilder is depressed. He's breaking up with his writing partner, Charles Brackett, and an encounter with a ghost from Hollywood's past has left him shaken. What can he do?

Michelle is back for our continuing discussion of Billy Wilder films. At this point we've watched and discussed 18 Wilder films which span the gamut of his career. There always comes a moment when doing a director durvey when we hit a few more minor obscure films in their filmography and that time is now for the great Wilder.So this time we discuss a few notable films you might be less familiar with: The Emperor Waltz, The Spirit of St. Louis and The Major and the Minor.All are relatively deep cuts, but all represent interesting moments in Wilder's career and are totally deserving of in-depth discussions diving deep into common themes and approaches. We hope you enjoy this pod as we begin to wrap up the great director's career.

This week, we discuss Billy Wilder's 1948 Technicolor musical comedy set in the picturesque mountains of turn of the century Austria, The Emperor Waltz.SPOILER ALERT We will be talking about this movie in its entirety, so if you plan on watching it, we suggest you watch it before listening to our takes.A Paramount Pictures production. Released on June 17, 1948. Directed by Billy Wilder. Written by Charles Brackett and Wilder. Starring Bing Crosby and Joan Fontaine. Cinematography by George Barnes. Edited by Doane Harrison. Score by Victor Young.

Episode 150: Evan, Rémy and Marcus begin their One F'n Year series, which will cover one film per year per episode for the rest of the calendar year commencing with 1950! And what a better monster classic to kick it all off with than Billy Wilder's SUNSET BOULEVARD, a timeless and masterful macabre indictment of Hollywood.

Cole Porter and George S. Kaufman teamed up to bring Billy Wilder's "Ninotchka" to the musical stage in 1955; here's a cornucopia of songs, featuring Fred Astaire, Ella Fitzgerald, Don Ameche, Bobby Short, and more.

This week's 1933 Fox Film Studios Year by Year episode paradoxically digs into the Hollywood beginnings of a couple of Paramount powerhouses via William Dieterle's Adorable, a musical based on a German operetta co-written by Billy Wilder (who'd be writing for Fox directly by 1934), and William K. Howard's The Power and the Glory, with an innovative screenplay by Hollywood newcomer Preston Sturges. Important early 30s Fox stars Janet Gaynor (permitted to play against type as a saucy princess who wants to play with the plebs) and Spencer Tracy (as a self-made - with a little help from his wife - tycoon) supply the charisma for the respective proceedings. And in Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto, the TIFF Lightbox Naruse retrospective continues with Hideko the Bus Conductress, The Whole Family Works, and Sudden Rain (starring Setsuko Hara), and we see a new restoration of Erich von Stroheim's famously unfinished, visually lavish, absolutely unhinged censor-baiting silent melodrama Queen Kelly.

This week, we discuss the creme de la creme of film noir, Billy Wilder's Double Indemnity, which perfected the genre's dark style and biting dialogue and put Wilder firmly on the A-list.SPOILER ALERT We will be talking about this movie in its entirety, including the details of the central murder plot and its ultimate resolution. If you plan on watching it, we strongly suggest you do so before listening to our takes.A Paramount Pictures production. Released on September 1, 1944. Directed by Billy Wilder.

She was born into show business royalty, made her film debut at just 11 weeks old, and grew up surrounded by legends like Noel Coward, Vivien Leigh, Laurence Olivier, and more. On this episode of Still Here Hollywood, Steve Kmetko sits down with the luminous Juliet Mills, the beloved star of Nanny and the Professor, to trace a life and career that spans West End theater, Broadway, classic television, and unforgettable Hollywood collaborators. Juliet shares how her family and upbringing shaped her worldview, why gratitude became one of her guiding principles, and what it was really like stepping into the spotlight as “Nanny” during a time when television was far more “tea and nightgowns” than romance and realism. She also looks back on the global success of the show, her bond with co-star Richard Long, and why she believes the series might have lasted longer if the on-screen relationship had been allowed to evolve. Plus, Juliet tells behind-the-scenes stories from her career highlights, including working with Billy Wilder and Jack Lemmon on Avanti! (yes, the role that required her to gain 35 pounds, a true acting challenge if spaghetti is involved). She also opens up about love, marriage, and fate, as her husband Maxwell Caulfield joins the conversation for a charming, honest look at how their relationship began during The Elephant Man, with a cameo appearance from Natalie Wood in the origin story. If you grew up with Nanny and the Professor, love classic Hollywood, or just want to hear a joyful, thoughtful conversation with an icon who's still full of wonder, this one's for you.

Send us a text In this episode, Marty gives Clif the movie The Hudsucker Proxy to watch and Clif gives Marty the movie Sunset Boulevard to watch. In this New Year's special, Marty and Clif take on two classics where time, success, and self-delusion collide: The Hudsucker Proxy (1994) and Sunset Boulevard (1950).First up is the Coen Brothers' fast-talking corporate fairy tale The Hudsucker Proxy. Marty and Clif dive deep into the film's cartoon logic, rapid-fire dialogue, exaggerated performances, and elaborate set pieces. Along the way, they unpack the film's connections to Sam Raimi, Roger Deakins, Preston Sturges, Buster Keaton, and the Coens' evolving style.Then it's time for a much darker New Year's turn with Billy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard. Marty and Clif discuss Gloria Swanson's iconic performance as Norma Desmond, William Holden's doomed narrator, and the film's lasting influence on decades of cinema. #TalkingPondo #FilmPodcast #MoviePodcast #ClassicFilms #FilmAnalysis #TheHudsuckerProxy #SunsetBoulevard #CoenBrothers #BillyWilder #NewYearsMovies #FilmNoir #ClassicHollywoodSupport the showFind our films here: The Love Song of William H Shaw Revenge of Zoe Writing Fren-ZeeMaking Pondo on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087139659233X (formerly Twitter):@MakingPondoInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/makingpondo/Making Pondo on Letterboxd:Season Onehttps://letterboxd.com/marty_ketola/list/talking-pondo/Season Twohttps://letterboxd.com/marty_ketola/list/talking-pondo-season-2/Season Threehttps://letterboxd.com/marty_ketola/list/talking-pondo-season-3/ Theme Song "The Rain" by Russ PacePhotos by Geoffrey Notkin

Michelle is back to continue Billy Wilder-Cast, this time with maybe one of the darknes movies ever committed to film, Ace in the Hole, and one of the most fun (but still kind of dark), Witness for the Prosecution. Do Jason and Michelle git whiplast from discussing these very different movies or do they find some intriguing common ground? (Spoiler: there is some common ground)

Two things make up the meaning of Christmas: career advancement and extramarital affairs! For our last episode of 2025, we watched The Apartment (1960), directed by Billy Wilder and starring Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine. Lemmon plays C.C. "Bud" Baxter, a middleman at an insurance company who allows his superiors to use his apartment to conduct extramarital affairs while falling in love with Fran (MacLaine), a woman with her own secret affair. The Apartment was nominated for 10 Oscars (winning 5) and has been added to the Library of Congress National Film Registry. In this episode: cheating etiquette and cheap executives; using a broom to quiet your neighbors; the end of the Hays Code; sexuality in the late 1950s; Shirley MacLaine: Metaphysical Expert; do romantic comedies need a Big Kiss? (yes).

Happy holidays! On the fifty- fourth episode of ATFT, film historian/ author/ lecturer Max Alvarez is back to join me in analyzing Billy Wilder's 1960 comedy- drama masterpiece, The Apartment! This episode is spoiler- filled. The Apartment has been described by many as one of the greatest of all time, film- wise, and is regarded as the peak of Billy Wilder who had been making a string of masterpieces starting with Double Indemnity (1944), which was the focus of the previous episode. The Apartment revolves around C.C. Baxter (Jack Lemmon), a people- pleasing insurance agent, who is taken advantage of by his bosses most nights after work as they occupy his apartment to spend time with their mistresses. All the while, Baxter has a crush on the “best elevator girl in the building” Fran Kubelik (Shirley MacLaine) whose mind is elsewhere, specifically on her married ex, and C.C.'s big boss, Jeff D. Sheldrake (Fred MacMurray). When Sheldrake begins to get in on the action to use Baxter's apartment to be with Fran, the film takes a dramatic turn on the night before Christmas. The Apartment went on to win five out of the ten Oscar categories, including Best Picture. This is one of my favorite films and it has become a tradition of mine to watch the film on Christmas night, after Fanny and Alexander. Max will be leading a Q&A after a screening of Robert Wise's 1958 noir film Odds Against Tomorrow at New Plaza Cinema in NYC on Sunday, December 21 at 12:15 pm where he'll be joined by Dan Cahill and, a special guest, Harry Belefonte's widow Pamela will be in attendance. Get your tickets now by clicking here! You can also watch previous Talk Back lectures led by Max, including one on The Apartment, on that same website or on the New Plaza Cinema YouTube channel. Max also gives the occasional online lecture at the Smithsonian Institute. His most recent lecture was focused on Burt Lancaster but click here to learn of Max's upcoming lectures. Before we closed out the episode, Max shared an update on his directorial feature film debut Noirfilm which is expected to be in post- production this Spring! This is Max's third appearance on ATFT! His most recent appearance was last year to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Chinatown with an analytical discussion, but my interview with Max was actually the first wide- released episode of the show! I had been wanting to record another episode with Max this year and I actually asked him to join a prior analytical episode but I was surprised to learn he wasn't a big fan of the film. With all the technical difficulties this year, this episode came together pretty quickly but I'm thrilled with the result because I believe this is one of the best episodes of the year. I'm thrilled to end another year of All the Film Things by discussing this film I hold so dear with Max. This episode was recorded on December 4, 2025. In this episode, Max and I talk about how The Apartment anticipates the New Hollywood era, the tightrope Wilder walks between comedy and drama, and the significance of setting the film around the holiday season. While Max recounts his experience attending a screening of the film with Billy Wilder, Fred MacMurray, and I.A.L Diamond in attendance, I take any chance I get to boast about Shirley MacLaine's tremendous performance as Fran Kubelik. All this and much more on the latest episode of All the Film Things!Music credit: Rudolph by Lukrembo | https://soundcloud.com/lukrembo Free To Use | https://freetouse.com/music Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com

Many have called Billy Wilder's work "cynical." Some have even called it "mean." But Wilder, well, he'd say he's just being honest. If that's the case, "A Foreign Affair" may just be his most honest film to date. It's also, in his own words, one of his most personal.  Like what we do here on the Filmographers?

Before heading into the Holiday season, Noir November could not be ignored. For the first time, Nick & Bella celebrate Noir November with three unforgettable, game-changing classics. We start with the Humphrey Bogart-led masterpiece and the catalyst for the Film Noir movement, 1941's The Maltese Falcon. Second, Billy Wilder's bleak, twisted, and sultry classic Double Indemnity. Finally, Alfred Hitchcock dipped his toes in the Noir lore with the wildly unnerving Strangers on a Train. Nick and Bella also dive into the debate of whether Film Noir is a genre or a style. Let us know what you think of these films, and let us know what your favorite Film Noir movie is. ❗️SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE ❗️Support the showSign up for our Patreon for exclusive Bonus Content.Follow the podcast on Instagram @gimmethreepodcastYou can keep up with Bella on Instagram @portraitofacinephile or Letterboxd You can keep up with Nick: on Instagram @nicholasybarra, on Twitter (X) @nicholaspybarra, or on LetterboxdShout out to contributor and producer Sonja Mereu.

Michelle is back, so that means it's time again for our series looking at the films of the great Billy Wilder. This time: two of Wilder's silliest and most edgy movies -- at least, edgy for the 1960s -- Irma La Douce and Kill Me, Stupid!. Both films have a broad, wacky comedy sensibility, both involve some bed-hopping and other sexual transgressions, and both are very worthy of discussion on this week's show!

Billy Wilder tells the story of a man’s (Ray Milland) alcoholic weekend, and the lies he tells to family and friends about his drinking. Surprisingly gritty and emotional for the era, and photography that heightens the mood. Also, Jane Wyman, Philip Terry, and Frank Faylen again. Shelly Brisbin with Nathan Alderman and Micheline Maynard.

Oscar-winning actor-writer Billy Bob Thornton talks with Lee Cowan about returning to his character Tommy Norris in the Paramount+ series "Landman," set in the oil fields of West Texas. He also discusses his rock band, The Boxmasters; his relationship to fame; and how Hollywood legend Billy Wilder changed his career.
