Famous quotes by William Wyler:

"It's a miserable life in Hollywood. You're up at five or six o'clock in the morning to be ready to start shooting at nine."

"I was a warmonger. I was concerned about Americans being isolationists."

"It's not over until your legs give out, kid."

"The thrill I had looked forward to for so long just wasn't there. In the middle of war, amidst so much suffering and death Hollywood seemed far off and unimportant."

"I made over forty Westerns. I used to lie awake nights trying to think up new ways of getting on and off a horse."

"Stills belong in the lobby, not on the screen."

"It's eighty percent script and twenty percent you get great actors. There's nothing else to it."

"I'm here to make good pictures. If I don't see it, I won't touch it. I may not make a good picture, but I still gotta believe in it!"

"If anybody doubts my loyalty to my country, I'll punch him in the nose, and I don't care how old he is."

Dead End (1937) - Best Scene

Updated: 16 Mar 2012

This is a short clip from William Wyler's "Dead End" (1937), a classic drama starring Humphrey Bogart, Joel McCrea, Claire Trevor, and Sylvia Sidney. A hoodlum, Hugh 'Baby Face' Martin (Bogart), visits his old neighborhood in New York. He decides to see his teenage sweetheart Francey (Claire Trevor). Martin and Francey are bitterly surprised to learn what they have become: Martin is a doomed killer and Francey is a diseased prostitute. This is one of the most emotionally powerful scenes in the film. I think Bogart's acting, especially his face when he realizes that Francey is a prostitute, is absolutely superb. This film is notable as being the first film appearance of the Dead End Kids.

Updated: 17 Nov 2012

Listen to the interview on www.iconsradio.com Hosted by John Mulholland, Meir Ribalow & Stephen Bogart The son of a prosperous Swiss dry goods merchant, William Wyler was studying the violin in Paris when he met Universal Pictures executive Carl Laemmle, a distant cousin of his mother, in 1922. Another version of this fateful meeting claims that Wyler made the acquaintance of one of Laemmle's many European relatives; whatever the case, the 20-year-old Wyler was invited to America to work in Universal's publicity department, writing publicity for the studio's foreign releases. He worked his way up to assistant director at Universal, finally graduating to director for the two-reel Western Crook Buster (1925). This was followed by several feature-length sagebrushers, then by his first non-Western effort, Has Anybody Here Seen Kelly? (1927). Universal's slapdash production methods and abbreviated schedules convinced Wyler that if he ever graduated to A-pictures, he would take his own sweet time making them. As a result, Wyler would earn a reputation as one of the slowest and most meticulous directors in the business, shooting extensive retakes on even the simplest scenes. Wyler's painstaking methods and his autocratic on-set behavior exasperated and infuriated many, but he was the favorite director of the equally demanding producer Sam Goldwyn. The long Goldwyn/Wyler association began with the 1936 film These Three, a heavily rewritten adaptation of Lillian Hellman's ...
