This week, we continue our return to Billy Wilder with a double feature: Ball of Fire (1941) and Stalag 17 (1953). We start with Ball of Fire, directed by Howard Hawks and co-written by Wilder, starring Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck in a fast-paced screwball comedy. Then we jump ahead to Stalag 17, with Wilder back in the director’s chair for a much different story about American prisoners of war who suspect there may be an informant in their barracks. Join us as we discuss two very different films. Enjoy!   Cinema Spectator is a movie podcast hosted by Isaac Ransom, Juzo Greenwood, and Cameron Tuttle.

Continuing our return to the films of Billy Wilder, we take a look at A Foreign Affair (1948). Starring Jean Arthur, Marlene Dietrich, and John Lund, the film follows an American congressional delegation investigating the behavior of U.S. troops stationed in postwar Berlin. Filmed partly on location among the ruins of Berlin, Wilder mixes romance and comedy with his familiar cynical observations of postwar life. Join us as we discuss Wilder’s unique perspective on Germany in the immediate aftermath of World War II.   Cinema Spectator is a movie podcast hosted by Isaac Ransom, Juzo Greenwood, and Cameron Tuttle.

We’re jumping back into the films of one of Cameron’s favorite directors, Billy Wilder, with The Lost Weekend (1945). Starring Ray Milland, the film follows a struggling writer over the course of a devastating weekend as his alcoholism begins to take over every part of his life. The film was a major success at the Academy Awards, winning Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay. Join us as we discuss its stark and unflinching portrayal of alcoholism, and if the film holds up more than 80 years later.   Cinema Spectator is a movie podcast hosted by Isaac Ransom, Juzo Greenwood, and Cameron Tuttle.
