William Wyler Filmography
Wyler began his film career at Universal Studios during the silent era. Before he made his last film in 1970 , Wyler had many fine motion pictures to his credit. In 1936 he left Universal to begin a long-time association with producer Sam Goldwyn and cinematographer Gregg Toland. He made three films with Bette Davis, with whom he often clashed. But many critics credit Wyler with drawing out of her some of her best acting performances.
