I didn't get to see it; still in the middle of a workout watching a movie on my 'puter. but i know jack was a shit. He and battling Betty , you know...

Battling Betty? Not sure what you mean by that? Lauren Bacall problem? Or could you have possibly been referring to Bette Davis? We know she did her best, but lost. However, Miss deHaviland tried her hand and won! But, I'm sure you know all of that...

Ok. The Jazz Singer is now on TCM. I've never seen it so I think I'll give it a shot. Supposedly a 'landmark' film, introducing sound, or did it really?

Sorry, not having much fun at all. Have the ol' jazz singer in the living room, but I'm way in the back of the house where the computer is...
I'm lonesome, and wanting company - slim pickins just about now...

Good choices Martina, but I would agree, most would fall under the 'melodrama' genre...
Sorry to ruin Jordan for you, but glad you will think of us next time you see him

YouTube- William Wyler Interview with daughter Catherine Wyler

William Wyler's first film was 1925.
Here are a few of his most memorable:

Funny Girl (1968)
How to Steal a Million (1966)
The Collector (1965)
The Children's Hour (1961)
Ben-Hur (1959)
The Big Country (1958)
Friendly Persuasion (1956)
The Desperate Hours (1955)
Roman Holiday (1953)
Carrie (1952)
Detective Story (1951)
The Heiress (1949)
Thunderbolt (1947) (as Lt Col William Wyler)
The Best Years of Our Lives (1946)
The Fighting Lady (1944) (uncredited)
The Memphis Belle: A Story of a Flying Fortress (1944)
Mrs. Miniver (1942)
The Little Foxes (1941)
The Letter (1940)
The Westerner (1940)
Wuthering Heights (1939)
Jezebel (1938)
Some wonderful films there, I especially enjoy Jezebel and The Children's Hour.

I used to get his name and Billy Wilder's mixed up.

Nah, you didn't ruin Louis for me...

Yanno, I always get their names mixed up too, because they're so similar. I just keep reminding myself that it was Wyler Bette Davis had an affair with! It's so much easier for me to remember things when there's a scandal attached to it. lol

I too love the list of Wyler's films you have here, Ol' Jet. I'd be hard put to pick a favorite, but if I needed to, I think it would be The Little Foxes...I have never seen such evil portrayed as the scene where Herbert Marshall is crawling up the stairs trying to get to his heart medicine, while Bette listens without turning to look at his desperate climb - it's all in her eyes!!! Unbelievable!!! That is the most riveting performance without dialogue I've ever seen!!

That seen in The Little Foxes is pretty close to the ice heart of Davis in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, remember Joan gasping and reaching for help? I'm a fan of The Little Foxes because it was written by Lillian Hellman who also wrote Watch on the Rhine and The Children's Hour. I think she was married to Daschiell Hammet (sp)
