This is a re-examination of the key American films of Wilder, often challenging previous readings of his filmmaking style and personality, emphasizing the pop-cultural, film-historical, and sociohistorical content of well known films like \u003ci\u003eSunset Boulevard\u003c\/i\u003e and less frequently remembered ones, like \u003ci\u003eThe Fortune Cookie.\u003c\/i\u003e The book interprets Wilder as more than the cocky little Viennese or closet Romantic stereotypes often attached to him. Here the student will find provocative analysis and the enthusiast will find evocative commentary on one of the most important figures in American film.Photographs add to the text, and a complete filmography and bibliography are also included.
