Among the films Andersen excerpts and finds picayune quibbles with: Chinatown, Double Indemnity, Mildred Pierce, City of Industry, and The Long Goodbye. Writer-director Billy Wilder--whose legacy includes such cinema classics as Double Indemnity (1944), The Lost Weekend (1945), and Sunset Boulevard (1950)--contributed some of the queerest stories to Hollywood's golden age.
