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 strangers kiss me, or completely. Get her out of this life?
Our hero chose the most complicated way - since he couldn't convince his girlfriend for a while, he simply turned to the tavern owner to play the most expensive client, and let her have only himself as a client. On the other hand, he secretly goes to the market every day to earn money to support his family by doing all kinds of hard work.
But this dual identity eventually got into trouble. When he wanted to end this life, he was mistaken by the police for killing someone and put in jail. At this time, the powerful tavern owner played a role again. The male protagonist not only retired, but also had to go back to work in the police station. The conflict of love and bread that runs through the movie is finally resolved, and our protagonists live happily ever after.
Compared with "Apartment", this film may not be so profound, but it is not necessary to summarize some life truths after watching each film. For entertainment, it is enough to spend 2 hours of happy time.
