Abstract
When studied in detail, William Wyler’s directing style reveals obvious differences for each of his films, both in the use of the camera and in the quality of the photography. Nothing is stranger to the form of The Best Years of Our Lives [1946] than the form of The Letter [1940]. When one recalls the major scenes in Wyler’s films, one notices that their dramatic material is extremely varied and that the editing of it is very different from one film to another.
