The wilder films of Billy Wilder
The Austin Film Society is doing something keen. As usual. Its upcoming Essential Cinema Series focusses on Billy Wilder comedies, with a twist: Instead of the usual fare — “Some Like It Hot,” “The Apartment,” etc. — it presents Wilder’s less celebrated, sometimes controversial late movies, all co-written by the great I.A.L. Diamond.
The series, “Censors, Drop Your Scissors! Billy Wilder’s Later Comedies,” is a rare chance to catch these films on the big screen, specifically that of the Alamo South:
“One, Two, Three” (1961); “Irma La Douce” (1963); “Kiss Me, Stupid” (1964); “The Fortune Cookie” (1966); and “Avanti!” (1972).
