Plot:
Romance at its most anti-romantic--that is the Billy Wilder stamp of genius, and this Best Picture Academy Award winner from 1960 is no exception. Set in a decidedly unsavory world of corporate climbi...( read more

MCT:July 5, 2008Billy Wilder's romantic comedy works an all aspects, from narration, character development and plot to direction, acting and script. Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine and Fred MacMurray were awesome. The edition is great as well. A classic American gem not to be missed.

MCT:June 22, 2008One of the best of the old school romantic comedies because it is so anti-romantic. Lemmon and MacLaine are at the top of their game in this one.

"Shut up and deal." So ends one of the most honest examinations about being a drone in the working class and adult relationships. Look, as much as I love Elizabeth Taylor, Shirley MacClain deserved the Best Actress Oscar for this film. Previously, she had been a light comic actress, and here she stakes her claim as a serious one and comes out aces. It doesn't hurt that Billy Wilder co-wrote a brilliant part for her, and that Jack Lemmon provided such sad but funny support. That's the best way to describe the entire film -- sad but funny. These are two people who could be happy together, but they've been so spurned by love and life before that they're nervous about jumping in and exposing themselves to it all once again. Now, who can't relate to that?

Marvelous! Shirley MacLaine is so fresh-faced and quirky and I love Jack Lemmon. I absolutely adore him.

This film is extraordinary, you know, storywise. I really can't expect less from a Billy Wilder film. Romance comedies should always be like this: witty, original and ironic. Jack Lemmon's character reminded me at first of his character in Some Like It Hot but as the story goes on, his role suddenly becomes more serious as well as the film's tone. The ending is also sweet and satisfying.
