Double Solitaire: The Films Of Charles Brackett And Billy Wilder
Before Hitchcock And Herrmann, Before Herzog And Kinski, There Was Charles Brackett And Billy Wilder. Despite Their Shared Nickname, Writer-Producer Charles Brackett And Writer-Director Billy Wilder Were Not, In Fact, The Happiest Couple In Hollywood. Actually, They Disliked Each Other Intensely, Even As They Collaborated On Some Of The Most Iconic Films Of HollywoodS Golden Age, Including Sunset Boulevard, Double Indemnity (From Which Brackett Eventually Withdrew), The Lost Weekend, And A Foreign Affair.Just How Two Men Who Found Each Other So Irritating Could Together Make Such Enduring Contributions To Cinematic History Is The Subject Of Double Solitaire, A Joint Biography Of A Fascinating And Explosive Creative Collaboration. In The Course Of Making Their Mark On Genres Ranging From Film Noir To The Screwball Comedy, They Achieved An Almost Inexplicable Alchemy That Highlights The Paradoxical Nature Of Shared Genius. Author Donald Brackett-Whose Great-Great-Grandfather Was Charles BrackettS Cousin-Delves Into Family Lore, Correspondence, Contemporary Media Reports, And All Other Manner Of Historical Records To Reconstruct The Strange Magic Of Brackett & WilderS Combustible Partnership, Showing How Their Creative Tensions Yielded One Classic Film After Another, And How Their Entrepreneurial Drive Pushed Against The Constraints Of The Studio System, Anticipating The Independent-Producer Models Of Today.
