TCM: Directed by Billy Wilder - Five Graves to Cairo & A Foreign Affair
| WHAT: WHEN: STUDIO: TITLES: | Directed by Billy Wilder (TCM Vault) October 16th Universal Five Graves to Cairo (1943), A Foreign Affair (1948) |
Universal is coming out with a 2-disc Billy Wilder set on October 16th.
Directed by Billy Wilder will contain Five Graves to Cairo (1943) and A Foreign Affair (1948) and should also have all the bonus features usually associtated with the TCM Vault line.
Available exclusively for purchase at TCM.com, this set will be available for rent here at ClassicFlix and nowhere else! Details below.
Presented for the first time on DVD, restored and remastered, this double feature is reflective of Wilder’s astringent wit, piercing intelligence and attraction to controversial subject matter that yielded some of his finest work during this decade.
Five Graves to Cairo (1942)
In this wartime espionage thriller, a British corporal goes undercover to infiltrate Field Marshall Rommel’s command and expose his plans to the Allies.
A Foreign Affair (1947)
The delightfully cynical comedy follows a prim Congresswoman who gets caught up in the decadence and black market world of post-war Berlin to often comic effect.

Top 20 Actresses Meme
I picked up on the Siren's list a week ago, and viewed, among others, J.C. Loophole's and Laura's. So I thought I might chime in with my own top 20 actresses list. The list represents those who came to mind that I would watch just because they're in it, regardless of the quality of film.
Looking at other lists, some got no mention (Betty Hutton, Paulette Goddard and Eleanor Powell), while others got surprisingly very few (Jean Arthur and Jeanne Crain).
The Top 10 are in order with the rest in no particular order. Favorites are listed as well.
