In Reply to: William Wyler before Billy Wilder. I'd say, anyway..... nt posted by tinear on February 5, 2010 at 18:51:15:
...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.
