TABLE OF CONTENTS; LITERARY READINGS OF BILLY WILDER; GOING BACKWARDS WITH BILLY WILDER; "YOU SEE, THIS IS MY LIFE"; ISN'T IT ROMANTIC? SOME SHOTS FROM SABRINA; GENDER IN BILLY WILDER'S SOME LIKE IT HOT; SEARCHING FOR TRUTH IN WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION; KISS ME, STUPID; SOME BITTER TALE; "A BEAUTIFUL BABY"; PRIVATE EYE, PUBLIC EYE; FILMOGRAPHY; CONTRIBUTORS.

Summary: Billy Wilder, hailed by most as a great filmmaker, often considered himself primarily as a writer. Yet to this day no publisher had thought fit to release literary interpretations of his work. Such an endeavor was clearly missing. The idea of this book is to offer academic but non hermetic readings of nine of his most significant films, informed by literary criticism, Gender Studies, semiotics, Film Studies, and the "artistic sensibility" of its contributors. Literary Readings of Billy Wilder should please film students, English students and Wilder fans alike.
