re: #344 De Kolta Chair

You’re absolutely correct, it was William Wyler (not to be confused with Billy Wilder’s brother Willy Wilder). Text corrected.

I just watched Wyler’s Roman Holiday a couple of days ago, and had read the Wiki on him.

It was my first time to watch that movie, if you can believe that. Maybe I saw it on the WPIX-TV 4:30 movie when I was a kid, but if I did see it, it made no impression on me then. What a delightful movie! Total fluff, but so well done.

Audrey Hepburn was a newcomer, and was supposed to have lower billing than Gregory Peck. But after several days of working with her, Peck asked that she have billing after him and before the title, because he predicted she was going to be a star.
