    Themes of manipulation and deception can be considered one of Billy Wilder’s trademarks because they appear in many of his films. Whether the story involves men dressing up as women in Some Like It Hot, a struggling musician hiring a loose woman to act as his wife to impress a celebrity in Kiss Me Stupid, or a man deceiving a courtroom to be acquitted of murder in Witness for the Prosecution, Wilder utilizes themes of deception and manipulation to keep the stories interesting. Although many of Wilder’s films contain elements of manipulation and deception, Witness for the Prosecution best illustrates these themes because the film has been immersed, from beginning to end, with all sorts of deceiving elements ranging from props to masquerades and to false confessions.…
