Billy Wilder perfectly combines the elements of musicals, road films, and comedies. It is 2 hours long, but there is no sense of procrastination. The script for the film is still up-to-date even today. The screenwriter's grasp of language has reached the point of perfection, and many dialogues are familiar before watching the film, such as Osgood's "Nobody's Perfect" at the end of the film, which was even engraved on Billy Wilder's tombstone.
Every character in the film has a distinct personality and even plays, so after watching it once, almost every character's mantra can be remembered. The "Big Joke" of the gangster, the naughty "Zowie", the "Beinstock" of Sweet Sue, and the drunk old man who shouted "I wanna another cup of coffee" three times at the beginning, hehe, remember them all. Of course, there are also best partners Josephine & Daphne!
