Mauvaise Graine (1934), Billy Wilder and Alexander Esway, B Jan 30, 2004 | Jordan Hoffman's Movie Journal, Uncategorized | 0 | On the way from Vienna to Hollywood Billy Wilder stopped in Paris to co-write and co-direct this film. A droll comedy about a fancy lad who joins a team of car theives. Some clever scenes, but lacking the eventual Wilder bite. Nifty.
