When Belle Epoque won its Academy Award as best foreign film last month, the director, Fernando Trueba, accepted with brevity and wit: I would like to believe in God in order to thank him, but I just believe in Billy Wilder, so . . . thank you, Mr. Wilder. Something of the spirit of the film is contained in those remarks, and something of the spirit of Wilder s Some Like It Hot is contained in Belle Epoque. Both films are largely concerned with sex - but not in sweaty, lustful terms. They appreciate the comic possibilities; they appreciate how amusing it can be when a man is ruled by his libido.
