For three decades, William
Wyler was Hollywood's class act. The German-born émigré
honed his craft in B Westerns and worked his way up the ladder,
eventually partnering with independent producer Sam Goldwyn on
a string of handsome, intelligent, and superbly crafted literary
adaptations. Working with the great cinematographer Gregg Toland
and Hollywood's finest acting talent, he racked up scores of Academy
Award nominations for his cast and crew, earning himself three
Oscars and a dozen Best Director nominations. William
Wyler's tasteful restraint has not always aged well, but at
his best his films celebrate the marriage of Hollywood craftsmanship
and serious-minded artistic ambition.
