MR WILDER AND ME - JONATHAN COE KARTONIERT (TB)

The prize-winning  bestselling author of Middle England turns his gaze to one of cinema's most
intriguing figures - famed director of Some Like It Hot   Billy Wilder.    ***SOON TO BE A
MAJOR FILM***    In the summer of 1977  naïve Calista Frangopoulou sets out to venture into the
world. On a Greek island that has been turned into a film set  she finds herself working for
Billy Wilder  about whom she knows almost nothing.    While Calista is thrilled with her new
adventure  Wilder himself is living with the realisation that his star may be on the wane.
Rebuffed by Hollywood  he has financed his film with German money  and when Calista follows him
to Munich  she finds herself joining him on a journey of memory into the dark heart of his
family history.  At once a tender coming-of-age story and an intimate portrait of a Hollywood
icon  Mr Wilder and Me explores the nature of time and fame  of family and the treacherous lure
of nostalgia . . . __________   'Utterly charming  deeply poignant and ultimately uplifting '
