Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

I wouldn't...and didn't...but I love Wyler's...

...last western, The Big Country.

And I truly enjoy the rather minor How To Steal A Million, mainly because of the enchanting performances of Peter O'Toole and Audrey Hepburn. Wyler made weightier films, better films - and more imoprtant films - but I adore the sparkle in O'Tool's eye. Wyler could be perfectly charming when he wanted - Mrs. Miniver is an example albeit in a completely different type of movie.

I also have a soft spot for the unsettling The Collector, again because of the great performance of Terrance Stamp. That was a gutsy pic for Wyler to make so late in his career.

I think his "best film" for me would be The Best Years Of Our Lives, followed by The Heiress. Ben Hur is too much of a muchness.

But gimme The Big Country for pure viewing pleasure.
