Does anybody know what movie Steve Soderberg is talking about in the movie Waking Life? He mentions Billy Wilder, and a name that sounds like "Louie Mow," late 60's/early 70's, and a quote that the movie is kind'a like a dream within a dream. I'm curious! I'll try watching the movie with the commentary, and I'll see if I can find out. Thanks.
 
I found the quote. It goes like this:
"Allegedly, the story goes like this: Billy Wilder runs into Louis Malle - this is in the late '50s or early '60s - and Louis Malle's just made his most expensive film, which cost $2.5 million. And, Billy Wilder asks him what the film is about, and Louis Malle says, 'Well, it's sort of a dream within a dream,' and Billy Wilder says, 'You just lost $2.5 million!'"
- Steve Soderberg, Waking Life
