absurd warm romance

More and more like this old man Jack Lemmon, his movies are really good, this time is no exception, although a bit absurd.
A retired police officer, an honest man in his duty, falls in love with a prostitute and more drama is bound to break out. Different values ​​and different lifestyles make them unable to reconcile on many issues: whether to live a dashing life with his girlfriend's money for spring, or to suffer and support the beloved woman, whether to watch his girlfriend and...

Win the simple life with complex methods

Whether it's on IMDB or here, the film's reviews are nowhere near as good as Billy Wilder and Lemmon's other two co-productions, "Peachy Apartment" and "Hot Like Fire." But to me, "Peachy Apartment" is too bitter, and "Passion Like Fire" Riccio's use of Jerry's heart is sour, while "Flower Street Goddess" is bitter and sweet, and sweet is mixed with bitterness. The most delicious taste.
My favorite part of the first half is the part where Nestor first came to Irma's room, kindly blocked...

I always feel that "Angel Amelie" is influenced by it

After watching "Gentlemen Love Blondes", I feel that this film seems to be in the same line. There also seems to be some traces in "Angel Amelie"... - It's purely personal feeling, don't spray if you don't like it.

Originally, I was attracted to look for this film by the three small jokes in the title. Searching all over the net, only a certain fox video has a subtitle version, thank you little fox, and thank all the enthusiastic people on the Internet. The actress is really an elf,...

Wilder's generalization

Adapted from a French musical, the story idea is very good, and in the hands of Billy Wilder, it is also handled as a comedy and farce with a unique style. The film seems to be well-received abroad, but I think on the whole, it can only be regarded as a third-rate work by Billy Wilder. The opening part of the film is very exciting. The voiceover introduces the streets and food of Paris, and then introduces the "food" of another street through food - the prostitutes, and the Emma girl among them...

Said to be the highest-grossing Billy Wilder movie

An online analysis of Lubitsch's "Paradise Trap" reads:

"...the editing of the film is similar to the style of the pages—the kind of pages that Bazin calls them. That is, all the scenes are is composed of several sets of shots with extended time spans. This "deception" is not a montage of deception in the traditional sense. We can realize that we are "fooled" by the events themselves, not the way they are manipulated ...

but the notion that Lubitsch did not use editing as a...

Starting with the use of Uncle Lime (Jack Lemmon) as the queen actor, it also marked Billy Wilder's comedy road on Sunset Boulevard. As a comedy master in the era of black and white, color has always let Wilder lose ground , eventually descending into the end of absurd slapstick...

Absurd, but kind of like it. The "Healing" plot is a re-enactment of "Passionate Like Fire", and Lemon's green tie and chest scarf at the end are well...

I simply enjoy every minute of this film, no matter the logic, no matter the rhythm, the story and the colors are pleasing to the eye. Is there a more pleasant Saturday night than watching these two play each...
