    After "Peachy Flat," Lemmon and McClain played poker together again, but "Miss Emma" was a little dragged on compared to the well-structured "Peachy Flat." The story is essentially a love story of little people, but unlike Wilder's previous works, "Lady Emma" is colorful (McLaine's green stockings and underwear), and the characters are lively, with a bit of cartoon-like farce temperament. (Comedy effects are also mainly expressed through farce scenes): Lemon escaped from the balcony to work...

    The second half does tend to get out of hand, and the paradoxical ending is puzzling, but the story is still addicting, like a dusty version of City Lights. Shirley MacLaine, despite her heavy makeup and topless back, still doesn't look like a woman in the...

    I was supposed to write a thesis after dinner, but I was too sleepy to fall asleep (in fact, I just woke up three or four hours ago), I felt a little sick and felt that I couldn’t write the thesis, so it’s better to watch a movie, although it is a bit out of bounds for the urgent paper, not too I like technicolor, or maybe the video I watched has a big problem. In short, I completely lost the feeling of film noir, but I felt that the color was very colorful, and the studio work was poor, but in...

    If it can be shortened by half an hour, it is estimated that the fame will be much larger than it is now. More than 200 minutes is indeed too long for a comedy. The lines are still very characteristic of Billy Wilder. It is not easy for the people of Austria-Hungary to play English so...

    The moments when two frustrated lives collide and then stick to each other are still touching, the peach-colored apartment "a dirty fairy tale", shirley macLaine is so beautiful inside, les halls was so interesting before it was demolished, there are many street scenes in Paris in the 1960s, but the rhythm of the film is before and after It's a bit out of touch, and when I go out to the cinema, I fantasize that I have seen two films....

    The exaggeration makes the plot less convincing. Of course, the director's usual humor and humor are kept at a high level. The role of the bartender is very interesting. Of course, this is another...

    No Eiffel Tower, no Louvre Museum, no Arc de Triomphe..., choose the red light district of Paris, and tell the love between policemen and prostitutes. Such a story itself is very TONE. Films made nearly 60 years ago can be so bright and full of colors, characters can be so vivid, and stories can be so wonderful. In comparison, many movies can be taken off the shelves...

    The joke is mediocre. This is the original sin for a movie that locates a comedy. Overall, 8 Taihangs (extremist feminism, the female protagonist does not let the male protagonist go out to work because she is afraid that the girls in her peers will laugh at her that she cannot support a...

    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...

    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...
