Billy Wilder: The Brilliant (Sunset Boulevard) and the Flawed (Fedora)
Update: 2025-06-30
Description
Michele is back again as she and Jason continue their journey into the films of the great Billy Wilder. This time they look at one of his greatest, most popular and most profound films, Sunset Boulevard (1950), and plumb so much of its hidden depth. Along with that, Michele and Jason take a look at a much deeper cut in Wilder's catalog: Fedora (1978), the shaggy-dog, slightly misbegotten approach to similar territory as Sunset.
Fedora is a fascinating film for very different reasons than Sunset Boulevard, and in many ways helps appreciate the unique alchemy that helped make the earlier movie a classic and this one a flawed work.
