He is regarded as one of the most brilliant and versatile filmmakers of Hollywood's golden age. With ''The Apartment'', Wilder became the first person to win Academy Awards as producer, director and screenwriter for the same film. Wilder became a screenwriter in the late 1920s while living in Berlin. After the rise of the Nazi Party, Wilder, who was Jewish, left for Paris, where he made his directorial debut. He moved to Hollywood in 1933, and in 1939 he had a hit when he co-wrote the screenplay for the screwball comedy ''Ninotchka''. Wilder established his directorial reputation with ''Double Indemnity'' (1944), a ''film noir'' he co-wrote with crime novelist Raymond Chandler. Wilder earned the Best Director and Best Screenplay Academy Awards for the adaptation of a Charles R. Jackson story ''The Lost Weekend'' (1945), about alcoholism. In 1950, Wilder co-wrote and directed the critically acclaimed ''Sunset Blvd.'' From the mid-1950s on, Wilder made mostly comedies. Among the classics Wilder created in this period are the farces ''The Seven Year Itch'' (1955) and ''Some Like It Hot'' (1959), satires such as ''The Apartment'' (1960), and the romantic comedy-drama ''Sabrina'' (1954). He directed fourteen different actors in Oscar-nominated performances. Wilder was recognized with the American Film Institute (AFI) Life Achievement Award in 1986. In 1988, Wilder was awarded the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award. In 1993, he was awarded the National Medal of Arts. ==Life and career== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Billy Wilder」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
