Interesting to hear Wyler talk about Roman Holiday and Ben Hur as works of pure entertainment. I think those two films have a LOT more art in them then, you know, anything in the top 10 highest grossers the past 20 years. Or at the very least, the characters of Ben Hur and Roman Holiday are a lot more human than the characters you'll find in a Marvel movie.
Bette Davis said that Mr. Wyler was the man that got away ❤
I just love how he talks about his wife. He’s so charming and humble. It seems he isn’t quite aware of how important he is to film.
Thanks so much for the wonderful interview .
Nothing like BenHur.. enjoyed it for more than 5 decades..
Ben-Hur is my favorite William Wyler film. So well done and deserving of the Best Picture Academy Award.
William Wyler was Bette Davis' favorite Director and love of her life. Their affair was legendary.
“I just forgot about Roman Holiday,” he says casually…. Gotta love it!

Comparing any of these classics to modern films is like comparing my 6 year old’s finger paintings to the Mona Lisa.
@@66smithra Yup! Sadly!
