For over 40 years, William Wyler was one of Hollywood’s most dependable classicists, culminating in 1968 with the ultimate New Hollywood-era throwback to Old Hollywood, Funny Girl. Then, for his final film in 1970, Wyler uncharacteristically directed a searing indictment of contemporary race relations, called The Liberation of LB Jones.(00:00) When Wyler Went Weird (Twice)(04:05) Neorealism, Auteurism, and the Cahiers Crowd(12:41) WWII, Ben-Hur, and Turning Down The Sound of Music(20:49) The Collector, Terrence Stamp, and Samantha Eggar(34:17) How To Steal a Million, Audrey Hepburn, and Peter O’Toole(40:11) Barbra Streisand and Funny Girl(48:32) Wyler’s Swan Song: The Liberation of L.B.
