Billy Wilder Week:

Sunset Boulevard
Jun 6 to Jun 8
Saturday through Monday 2:45, 7:00
Billy Wilder - 1950 - 110m
As the movie opens, we see a man floating face down in the swimming pool of a luxurious mansion. The man, Joe Gillis, is a screenwriter who has been shot and is very much dead. He posthumously narrates the events of the last six months, the events that have lead to this tragic conclusion that involve his chance meeting with Norma Desmond - a silent-screen goddess whose pathetic belief in her own indestructibility has turned her into a demented recluse in her crumbling Sunset Boulevard mansion where she lives with only her butler, Max, who was once her director and husband has become her self-contained world.

Sabrina
Jun 6 to Jun 8
Saturday through Monday 4:40, 9:05
Billy Wilder - 1954 - 113m
Audrey Hepburn is the delightful, young, eponymous Sabrina, the daughter of a chauffeur who is hopelessly in love with David Larrabee (William Holden), the playboy younger son in the rich Long Island household her father works for. In order to help her forget her woes, Sabrina is shipped off to cooking school in Paris. While there, she befriends a baron who provides a bit of culture--and the encouragement to snip off her childlike ponytail. Upon her return to New York, Sabrina is transformed into a sophisticated woman, and David is entranced by her. However, his older brother Linus (Humphrey Bogart) has arranged David's marriage to Elizabeth Tyson in order to seal a business merger and thus must steer David away from Sabrina. To do this, Linus takes on the task of wooing her for himself. Full of great dialogue ("A woman happy in love, she burns the soufflé; a woman unhappy in love, she forgets to turn on the oven") and wonderful performances, this film is a romantic masterpiece.
