Always testing Hollywood censors' limits, Billy Wilder directed greats such as Marilyn Monroe, Jack Lemmon, Ginger Rogers, Marlene Dietrich, Kirk Douglas, Audrey Hepbum, and Gary Cooper - to name but a fewl Wilder details his rise from Berlin cub reporter to fledgling screenwriter in Hollywood's Golden Age . He tells the stories behind such classics as Double Indemnity (1944), The Seven-Year Itch (1955), and Some Like It Hot (1959) among others. He gives the scoop on the 'royalty' of cinema and delivers penetrating observations on his craft.
