Intriguing story

Mr Wilder & Me

I wanted to call this book sweet, but that's sounds demeaning. It is though, but with depth, humour and pathos. A quirky glimpse into Billy Wilder and his movie "Fedora" shot in Greece, Germany and Paris. It's about being young and grabbing opportunities, but also about getting old and feeling that what you have left to offer is no longer needed. I loved it!

Mr Wilder & Me

based on well known Hollywood film director Billy Wilder, this is a light read. A naive young girl is enamoured with the glamour of the industry. Whats interesting to me is a recollection of a time gone by and getting to know Billy Wilder.
