With the release this month of The Major and the Minor on DVD, Billy Wilder's oeuvre gets that much closer to completion on disc. In the VHS days, the only holdout was Ace in the Hole (which got the Criterion treatment on DVD). Maybe poor VHS sales are why there are still a few Wilders unreleased on DVD. To date, 22 of Wilder's 26 films (as director) are available on (Region 1) DVD, as follows:
