| Inhalt: |
From the inimitable BilIy Wilder (Double lndemnity, The Lost Weekend) comes this classic comedy that mixes romance with hard-boiled wit in a story about stiff-necked Iowa congresswoman Phoebe Frost (Jean Arthur Shane) mired in jaded post-war Berlin.
As she investigates the moraIe of American troops, Phoebe is cynicaIly wooed by feIIow Iowan Captain John PringIe (John Lund), who is trying to cover up his affair with Nazi-tainted chanteuse Erika von SchIütow (Marlene Dietrich Witness for the Prosecution, The Blue AngeI).
FiIIed with sharp dialogue and satiric jabs, A Foreign Affair is one of WiIder s most beIoved comedies, and The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present the fiIm in its UK debut on Blu-ray.
