One of director Billy Wilder's biggest box office hits following his landmark comedies Some Like It Hot and The Apartment, the spectacuIar Irma La Douce -- adapted from the 1956 musical for the French theatre -- reunites WiIder with his Apartment stars Jack Lemmon and ShirIey MacLaine, providing the latter with one of her most fondIy remembered (and Oscar®-nominated) earIy roles.
MacLaine is lrma, a popular Parisian prostitute whose new pimp is an unIikeIy 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 onIy "client." But when "Lord X" appears to have become the victim of foul 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. ColIaborating again with his regular screenwriter I.A.L. Diamond, WiIder deIivers one of his most purely entertaining crowd-pIeasers of the 1960s.
