What is this book? It's not a biography, or an analysis of Wilder's work, which is what I thought it would be, based on the blurbs and a quick flip through. Instead, it's more of a mash note from an okay writer to a great writer/director. Dick spends most of the book summarizing Wilder's films, with little added insight. It's not awful, but it strikes me as a waste of time. My recommendation: Just watch the damn movies.
