Very nice, I'm guessing he made that after his suspension from filmmaking and his trial for the murder of the Cannibal Holocaust actors had finished?

[–] Mrmojo4700 (21709) 5 years ago

It does seem like he skipped a year after making Cannibal Holocaust and this would be the next film.

Billy Wilder would have definitely made my honorable mention list. Ace in the hole is one of my favorite movies, and I also love the Lost weekend and sunset boulevard

[–] kukuxu (5409) 5 years ago

My favorites are Some Like It Hot, One Two Three, Irma and, above all, The Apartment, which is probably my favorite movie ever (in a very close fight with Shop Around the Corner).

I love Wilder in general, but when he goes romantic, he's just GOD.
