Billy Wilder Tapestries

Design based on an old movie.

Picking a favorite Billy Wilder film is kind of like trying to narrow down my favorite Beatles record - too many masterpieces to choose from; besides, it kind of depends on the mood. But if I had to choose, it would be The Apartment. In my opinion, it's a near-perfect film. In my poster, I wanted to capture my favorite moment, the ending. C.C. professes his absolute love and adoration to Miss Kubelik, and her response is, simply, "Shut up and deal." It's a romantic comedy in which the two stars never even kiss each other. And yet, at the end we all know they are going to be together. This kind of subtlety shows a respect for the intelligence of the audience that is rare, and one of many reasons it's one of the best ever, film-wise.

'Sabrina' with Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart, and William Holden is one of my all time fave films.

The film was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Actress (Stanwyck), Best Director (Billy Wilder), and Best Picture.

The 1959 classic!

That's what makes one a star
