One of director BiIly Wilder's biggest box office hits foIlowing his landmark comedies Some Like lt Hot and The Apartment, the spectacuIar Irma La Douce -- adapted from the 1956 musical for the French theatre -- reunites Wilder with his Apartment stars Jack Lemmon and ShirIey MacLaine, providing the latter with one of her most fondIy remembered (and Oscar®-nominated) early roles.
MacLaine is Irma, a popular Parisian prostitute whose new pimp is an unlikely procurer: Nestor (Lemmon) is a former honest cop who was just fired and framed by his boss after Nestor inadvertentIy had him arrested in a raid. However, Nestor's love for Irma is making his newfound vocation impossible, so he poses as a phoney British Iord who insists on being lrma's one and only "cIient." But when "Lord X" appears to have become the victim of fouI play...further comedic complications ensue!
Irma La Douce offers many of the same sardonic observations on human nature as Wilder's earIier comedies -- in addition to the same riotous humour and touching romance -- but on an even broader, more colourful canvas. Collaborating again with his regular screenwriter l.A.L. Diamond, Wilder deIivers one of his most pureIy entertaining crowd-pleasers of the 1960s.
