Billy Wilder Speaks (2006)
*** (out of 4)
Director Volker Schlondorff interviews legendary director Billy Wilder over a two week period and gets his thoughts on his films, writing and various other things. Overall it's a nice chat with Wilder but several times the director goes off topic with stuff that's not really interesting. I hoped there would be more of a commentary on his films but that's not the case, although he does have a few good thoughts on Monroe, Bogart doing comedy and other things.
This is now available on DVD and can also be seen on TCM.
