He was so poor that he often spent his time wandering around the <a href="/wiki/Place_Pigalle" title="Place Pigalle">Pigalle</a> district. After realizing that Willy was not interested in the haberdashery business, his mother, Melanie, contacted her distant cousin, <a href="/wiki/Carl_Laemmle" title="Carl Laemmle">Carl Laemmle</a>, who owned <a href="/wiki/Universal_Pictures" title="Universal Pictures">Universal Studios</a>, about opportunities for him. </p><p>Laemmle was in the habit of coming to <a href="/wiki/Europe" title="Europe">Europe</a> each year, searching for promising young men who would work in <a href="/wiki/United_States" title="United States">America</a>. In 1921, Wyler, while traveling as a <a href="/wiki/Swiss_nationality_law" title="Swiss nationality law">Swiss citizen</a> (his father's status automatically conferred Swiss citizenship on his sons), met Laemmle who hired him to work at <a href="/wiki/Universal_Pictures" title="Universal Pictures">Universal Studios</a> in <a href="/wiki/New_York_City" title="New York City">New York</a>. As Wyler said: "America seemed as far away as the moon." Booked onto a ship to New York with Laemmle for his return voyage, Wyler met a young <a href="/wiki/Czechs" title="Czechs">Czech</a> man, <a href="/wiki/Paul_Kohner" title="Paul Kohner">Paul Kohner</a> (later the famous independent agent), aboard the same ship. Their enjoyment of the first class trip was short-lived, however, as they found they had to repay the cost of the passage out of their $25 weekly income as messengers to Universal Pictures. After working in New York for several years, and even serving in the <a href="/wiki/New_York_Army_National_Guard" title="New York Army National Guard">New York Army National Guard</a> for a year, Wyler moved to <a href="/wiki/Hollywood,_Los_Angeles" title="Hollywood, Los Angeles">Hollywood</a> to become a director.<sup id="cite_ref-Herman_6-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Herman-6"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 37">&#58;&#8202;37&#8202;</span></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Career">Career</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=William_Wyler&amp;action=edit&amp;section=2" title="Edit section: Career"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="1923–1929:_Early_work_and_silent_films"><span id="1923.E2.80.931929:_Early_work_and_silent_films"></span>1923–1929: Early work and silent films</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=William_Wyler&amp;action=edit&amp;section=3" title="Edit section: 1923–1929: Early work and silent films"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Around 1923, Wyler arrived in <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles" title="Los Angeles">Los Angeles</a> and began work on the Universal Studios lot in the <a href="/wiki/Swing_gang" title="Swing gang">swing gang</a>, cleaning the stages and moving the sets. His break came when he was hired as a second assistant editor. But his work ethic was uneven, and he would often sneak off and play billiards in a pool hall across the street from the studio, or organize card games during working hours. After some ups and downs (including getting fired), Wyler put all his efforts into becoming a director. He started as a third assistant director and by 1925 he became the youngest director on the Universal lot directing the <a href="/wiki/Western_(genre)" title="Western (genre)">westerns</a> that Universal was famed for turning out.

In this, he collaborated with the pathbreaking young cinematographer of 1940's <i><a href="/wiki/Citizen_Kane" title="Citizen Kane">Citizen Kane</a></i>, <a href="/wiki/Gregg_Toland" title="Gregg Toland">Gregg Toland</a>. Gregg Toland shot three of the director's most celebrated films: <i>Wuthering Heights</i> (1939), where Toland's use of low angles, dark shadows and diffusion won him the Oscar for best cinematography; next in <a href="/wiki/Lillian_Hellman" title="Lillian Hellman">Lillian Hellman</a>'s adaptation of her searing stage play, <i><a href="/wiki/The_Little_Foxes" title="The Little Foxes">The Little Foxes</a></i>, into Wyler's 1941 film, which had Wyler and Toland working closely together to bring the hard-edged deep focus from Citizen Kane to bear on another tale of soul-destroying family wealth - including inventing a totally white make-up scheme for its star, Bette Davis, conveying her soullessness. Third, and most famously, is Toland's work in one of the cinematographer's last films, Wyler's heart-wrenching masterpiece, <i><a href="/wiki/The_Best_Years_of_Our_Lives" title="The Best Years of Our Lives">The Best Years of Our Lives</a></i> (1946). This story of three American servicemen struggling to adjust to civilian life after fighting in World War 2 hit a chord with postwar audiences. Memorable examples of deep focus here include the complex scene in which the three men wind up at the same bar, unable to stay at home, and, in its powerful closing shot, a crowded family wedding disperses, leaving only two young lovers staring at one another across the expanse of an empty living room, as stunned in place, seemingly, as the camera.
