Irma La Douce
Billy Wilder directs this rather odd comedy about a cop who falls in love with a prostitute. The plot sunk, but Lemmon is appealing as the good-natured cop. This film doesn't seems to mean anything and is unreasonable, but with good direction, acting and scenery, the film is not completely wasted. Not one of the better Wilder films; this one's only for his fans.
