Billy, How Did You Do It? (2)

Second of three in-depth conversations with the film director and writer Billy Wilder. He recalls his memories of the great Hollywood stars: "Mae West walked out of the door all white gold and feathers. She looked like a locomotive." He talks about working with silent film star Gloria Swanson on 'Sunset Boulevard', the tensions of working with Humphrey Bogart, and the consummate artistry of Gary Cooper.
