Until watching this wonderful documentary today, I had no idea of the scope of William Wyler's work, nor was I aware that to date he is the most Oscar-nominated director of all time, with Scorsese trailing behind in second place.

Additionally, I was intrigued to learn that Margaret Sullavan was his first wife! What a power couple they must have made during their apparently mostly tumultuous marriage.

Further insight into Wyler's life and movies provided by his two daughters and son, with candid photos sprinkled throughout, pushed him right up the ladder next to Michael Curtiz, George Stevens and Frank Capra on my top directors list.

I only wish the documentary had been longer. What a fascinating man and illustrious career. I am looking forward to ordering a book which provides more depth into his movies and life. Thank you, Willie, for your 40 takes - they were all well worth it!

It looks like I'm the only reviewer post Charlie Kirk's assassination on September 10th.

Ironically, I had just a few days prior watched some YouTube video clips of the S. P. episode which parodied him. It was on Charlie Kirk's podcast with some of his fellow podcasters discussing that episode, which he loved!! The guys discussed how hilarious it was that S. P. precisely mimicked Charlie's hairstyle and his apparent propensity to drink bottled water during his podcasts and debates.

Frankly, I was unaware of the impact Kirk had on the conservative college age youth of today until seeing the media coverage post his killing on September 10th.

So, since I hadn't seen that particular Charlie Kirk/anti-Trump, C. Noem, ICE episode nor had I watched South Park for years, I found a replay of it on Comedy Central and tuned in. Sorry, even though the Charlie Kirk segments were mostly benignly humorous, I was especially disgusted about the portrayal of Trump and Satan, especially and the overt and coy alluding to Trump's connection to the underage Epstein abuse.

I do wonder how Trey and Matt feel now about Charlie's assassination and I'm also wondering how they will feel if and when President Trump gets assassinated too because I'm sure they will be overjoyed.

South Park used to skewer both Democrat and Republican sides of the political spectrum but sadly they've jumped on that anti-conservative bandwagon. RIP, South Park, we won't miss your passing but we will miss Charlie Kirk, who engaged anyone and everyone, no matter his or her political leanings.
