Wilder cared deeply about the language, rhythm and timing he spent months crafting with his Hollywood writing partners.

  8. Directors detail their films' crucial scenes

    For most directors, there is usually one moment in their film that brings it all together while they are shooting — or sometimes before production has even started — one scene that unlocks key relationships among the characters or clicks so well the director knows the film as a whole is going to work. Or sometimes it depicts in just a minute or two the whole point of the film. The Envelope talked with five directors with films out this year who experienced just such a moment.
