does anyone know if nabokov had a slight friendship
with billy wilder? or did they ever meet? or, best of all, what did nabokov
think of billy wilder?

EDITOR's NOTE. Someone recently posted a note on
NABOKV-L that the new Bio of Wilder described an incident in which VN was at a
party at Wilder's where he examined W's art collection and responded in
reply to a query that if allowed to take one home, he would take a Balthus. This
is recollection. Best check it.
