Rating:  - Where's the music?
I loved the musical when it first came out. I looked forward to the film release. I can't say how disappointed I was in the result. Why do directors so often think they can make a better story than the author intended?
Rating:  - A Highly Entertaining French Farce
An all time tour-de-force for Jack Lemmon and Shirley Maclaine (whose performance was Oscar nominated). Jack plays a poor schnook street cop, who bumbles his way from losing his job to pimping for Irma (Maclaine), the top hooker of the neighborhood, with whom he he falls madly in love. Jealously doing everything he can to prevent Irma from "plying her trade", Lemmon becomes his own rival in this hilarious comedy of bizarre plot twists.
Rating: - Irma la flop
This is one of my least favorite Jack Lemmon movies. The plot was slow, the jokes weren't funny. I don't know, this just didn't do it for me. It didn't seem characteristic of Billy Wilder's usual witty style.
Rating: - Irma La Douce
Light hearted comedy by two great actors. Great interplay between them and a joy to watch many times.
Rating: - Love movies
I loved this when I saw it 35 years ago. I wanted to see it and let my kids who are over 30 see it.
