Doug, I'm glad to learn that you found my last snap "very interesting on
young Wilder" as well as "lovely, funny, and taken on the run". The
initial draft, with only 3 outtakes, seemed likely to produce a publishable
text, but I was surprised I was able to write considering my failure to do
so during the first film screened that day, People On Sunday (1929), which
credits Wilder as one of the screenwriters. Otherwise, I'm going to send
my text to a Duchamp scholar for another take on the intentionality of
Wilder's surprising reference. Barry
