although im often miffed at how this film can be considered a comedy, im never puzzled by its reputation as a great film. billy wilder's execution of the seemingly limited plotline is masterful and both lemmon and maclaine are perfect in their roles. great romantic classic.

this film made fall in love with Jack Lemmon, enough said. i loved every single second of watching it.
I love this movie. I was afraid the second viewing wouldn?t affect me as much as the first time I saw it years ago, but it?s as good as I remember it. This is one of the very best fusions of harsh drama and comedic relief that I?ve seen and it?s remarkably mature for a Hollywoo...( read more)
