Publisher's Synopsis
At the age of 93, and just a few years before he died, the legendary maestro, director of classics such as Sunset Boulevard, Some Like it Hot and The Apartment, among others, talked to Cameron Crowe about thirty years at the very heart of Hollywood. Wilder's distinct voice provides a fascinating insider's view of the film industry past and present. Sharp and funny behind-the-scenes stories, candid reflections on stars as fabled as Greta Garbo, Marilyn Monroe and Gary Cooper, and recollections of his early years in Vienna and Berlin, all told with his trademark dry wit, tough-minded romanticism and elegance, make this an unforgettable memoir of Hollywood history and lore.
