‘Some Like It Hot’ (1959), and everyone likes it funny
Wilder Wednesday (Movie review): Lemmon’s comedic chops and Curtis’ variety of characters make this the all-timer among gender-switch films.
‘Sunset Boulevard’ (1950) an all-time great movie about movies
Wilder Wednesday (Movie review): And that’s just one of the themes in this study of a fallen celebrity without a genuine identity.
‘The Apartment’ (1960) is worth renting, maybe even owning
Wilder Wednesday (Movie review): The Oscars were right: Lemmon and MacLaine are delightful in this light-touch, heartfelt romantic dramedy.
‘Witness for the Prosecution’ (1957) an elite court drama
Sleuthing Sunday (Movie review): Billy Wilder’s adaptation of Christie’s play/story shows droll comedy and high drama can smoothly blend.
