		A poster in his office touts the value of exercise, and Brackett asks each patient if he or she is physically active.
		But before he writes the prescription, Brackett asks a series of questions that he hopes will motivate the patient to say, "I should exercise." If he can get them to acknowledge that out loud, he said, they are more likely to follow his Rx.
		Brackett also has guidebooks available of nearby hiking trails and pedometers that patients can buy -- for $4 -- to track their progress.

		Written by Charles Brackett and Billy Wilder and D.M. Marshman Jr.
		Brackett: âSunset Blvd. came about because Wilder, Marshman and I were acutely conscious of the fact that we lived in a town [that] had been swept by a social change as profound as that brought about in the old South by the Civil War.
		At first, we saw her as a kind of horror womanâ“an embodiment of vanity and selfishness.

	Program Note
		With uncommon skill Brackett and Wilder, who also produced and directed this splendid drama for Paramount Pictures, have kept an essentially tawdry romance from becoming distasteful and embarrassing.
		That is a device completely unworthy of Brackett and Wilder, but happily it does not interfere with the success of Sunset Boulevard.
		In this spirit [Charles] Brackett and [Billy] Wilder hired the nudgy Hollywood gossip columnist Sidney Skolsky to appear in a sequence set at Schwab's Drugstore in the heart of downtown Hollywood.

	The DVD Journal \| Reviews : Sunset Boulevard: Special Collector's Edition
		They were dropped, in the first case because West also viewed herself as a writer and would have wanted to make changes to Wilder and Brackett's sacrosanct text, and in the second case because the role of gigolo came too close to events in Clift's off-screen life.
		Obviously, Wilder and Brackett are the artists here, but there is a thread throughout the history of American movies that offers up certain great writers without much proof that they have actually written anything.
		Wilder was more a talker than a writer, with Brackett, Chandler, and Diamond as his talented, equally-contributing amanuensi.

	Billy Wilder at Reel Classics
		Featuring Olivia de Havilland, Charles Boyer and Paulette Goddard, HOLD BACK THE DAWN (1941) is the story of a spinster American school teacher (de Havilland) taken advantage of by a foreign gigolo who wants to immigrate to the United States.
		Also featuring Henry Travers, S.Z Sakall, Dana Andrews and Dan Duryea, BALL OF FIRE was directed by Howard Hawks and written by Wilder and Brackett from an original story by Wilder and Thomas Monroe.
		Proof that Wilder was more than just a writer who could direct, in 1945 he led Ray Milland to a Best Actor Oscar for his performance as a frustrated writer who spirals into alcoholism and lands in the psychiatric ward of a hospital after a weekend binge.

	REELINSIDER.COM - THE LOST WEEKEND (1945)
		Yet Wilder's movie was one of the first Hollywood films to put alcoholism at its center and for that fact alone it has an historical importance that may outstrip the frayed edges of its dramatic action.
		To wit, Wilder's adaptation of the novel by Charles R. Jackson with his frequent co-writer and producer Charles Brackett rendered Don's disease with a sense of realism as set in New York City.
		Thus Don relentlessly pursues booze with a zeal normally reserved for action heroes.

		The wonderfully creepy and spacious mansion used was borrowed from J. Paul Getty's ex-wife, who received it in her alimony settlement.
		The writers Charles Brackett, D.M. Marshman, and Wilder base the story on their own Hollywood experience and offer an insider's slant on things.
		The filmmakers name real Hollywood figures (Cecil B. Demille) and places (Paramount and Schwab's Drugstore), and in their caustic observations spare no one from their biting humor and their sour pronouncements on Hollywood's fickleness and amoral behavior as the narrative intertwines fact with legend.

		It was, in fact, dissatisfaction with the handling of a script that he and Brackett had written for Mitchell Lesien that led Wilder to the director's chair.

		Dir: Mitchell Leisen Scr: Billy Wilder and Charles Brackett, based on original screen story by Edwin Justis Mayer and Franz Schulz Phot: Charles Lang, Jr.
		In effect, the film is a testament to the power of the studio system to energize talent, regardless of its origins, towards apparently seamless works of collaboration dedicated to celebrating American values.
		Popularizing European artistic trends, the film's art directors riff on surrealism in the stunning de Chirico-inspired mural and props in Simone's hat shop, thereby satirizing European high culture, but also drawing inspiration from it and making it all look impossibly glamorous.
