Billy Wilder Theater

This week is an ideal one to check out the tremendous resource that is the UCLA Film and Television Archive, which screens films at the Billy Wilder Theater at the Hammer Museum in Westwood. Playing Friday night is a nifty pre-Code double bill, William Powell in “Street of Chance” and Lew Ayres in “Okay, America!” And Wednesday, as part of its “The Movie That Inspired Me” series, top cinematographer Roger Deakins talks to Curtis Hanson about Jean-Pierre Melville’s masterful “Army of Shadows.” Don’t miss it.
