The last installment of the series has already come and gone a few weeks ago. Personally, I was hoping to plow through the series by immediately scheduling a third installment for the end of September. However, since we are already halfway through the month it would be unfair for everyone involved and anyone who would be interested in participating to be placed on such a short notice. So, here is your opportunity to join your fellow writers in discussing the career of an iconic director by looking forward to part three in the series LAMBs in the Director’s Chair! The event has been scheduled as a three-day event for October 12th through October 14th so that everyone has a good month of time to obtain a copy of a movie or two from our chosen director’s list of film credits. Do what you will for the event, since there is no particular set of rules on how each writer can respond. Be creative in which ever way inspires you when you start writing for this event!The focus of Director’s Chair #3 would be a director who gained notoriety for successfully directing numerous cinematic gems that varied from film noir to the screwball comedy to the courtroom drama and even a foreign movie or two. I am talking about none other than Billy Wilder! Earlier this year one of his famous comedies, Some Like It Hot, was notably marked for its 50th anniversary. There were a couple of local San Diego organizations that celebrated the anniversary down at Hotel del Coronado in mid-September. The trivia experts out there would know that there were several prominent scenes from the movie that had been filmed at the Hotel Del.
In honor of the film’s fiftieth anniversary, as well as the value of his lucrative career, I thought it would be appropriate for us to select Billy Wilder as the next person to be placed in the Director’s Chair. Make sure to send me the link(s) to your posted material via e-mail so that I can include it here on the LAMB site. My e-mail address is mattehavoc@gmail.com and do not forget to include the subject line: LAMBs in the Director's Chair #3. If you already have an article or movie review posted on your site that is related to any of Billy Wilder’s work go ahead and send me the link as soon as possible and I will include it within the first day’s posting. Do not forget that the absolute deadline for the event is October 14th!
