Billy Wilder is considered a really special and important person in Hollywood because he is not only a filmmaker but also a journalist, screenwriter and producer and he is one of the most brilliant filmmakers of Hollywood’s golden age. He is from Poland (once Austria-Hungary) and when he lived in Berlin after the rise of Hitler some of his relatives were murdered at a concentration camp.
He is actually naturalized citizen of USA and started with a significant success that was “Ninotchka” in 1933. After this he was known for his film noir movies, that are the Hollywood crime dramas that generally were black and white and with sexual motivation, and he also was recognized because of his battle against Hollywood censorship.
Wilder's movies have a well structured, nice plotting and memorable dialogues. His movie themes in spite of being polemical gave Billy Wilder status and a lot of academy awards during his career. He also has a sardonic sense of humor and he once worked with Audrey Hepburn.
Wilder as one of many things he introduced to Hollywood, he brought to Hollywood filmmaking “Cross-dressing” (the act of wearing clothing commonly associated with the other gender within a particular society) with Marilyn Monroe as one of the characters of his movies.
After his huge success , Wilder complained because he was wetting no work because of his age, despite his complains never ceased, his career ended. After that Wilder never ceased to complain that Hollywood was making a big mistake by not giving him any films to direct. He did so at film festivals, in interviews, on television, and whenever else he had the chance. He often hinted that he was being discriminated against, due to his age. His complaining didn't help: for whatever reason, Hollywood simply wouldn't hire him, and his directorial career ended.
