Maybe a little silly (even though I don't know how a dispretentious comedy can be called silly), but Jack Lemmon makes it worth it.

The visuals are beautiful but it's just too plain and silly to be taken seriously. MacLaine is good, but the screenplay is just not.

Before Julia Roberts was Vivian Ward, Shirley MacLaine was Irma La Douce!

The first third or so is pretty good, but I found Lemmon's masquerade labored and unbelievable.

The lame slapstick and repetition of the same dumb jokes wears thin and gives the viewer time to think about how flimsy the whole setup is. Lemmon's character is a clueless knucklehead, and MacLaine just looks bored. And perhaps I'm taking it too seriously, but the quaint portrayal of prostitution is a bit objectionable. Now don't get me wrong: there are some good moments. There were definitely a few things that brought a smile to my face. The overall experience, however, is a slog.

When I read that Shirley Maclaine did research for the role by going to hang out with hookers in Paris, I thought this might be a gritty, realistic portrait of the life. Boy, was I wrong! I have an admittedly low tolerance for slapstick, but there's so much here I find the flick almost unwatchable. A totally idiotic story with a matching script.

The positive rating is almost entirely for Jack Lemmon and Lou Jacobi, Lemmon's being a fantastic physical performance as usual, and Jacobi for his understated verbal delivery. The film's studio locale adds a false sheen that actually works for the film's subject matter, but this is definitely lesser Wilder. Lemmon's character, particularly in his transformation from cop to pimp strains credulity, while the overly long run time probably blunts some of the impact of the laughs.

Maybe I just like his noirs better. Couple decent jokes but it should have been funnier than Double Indemnity and it wasn't. What the hell good is a comedy then?

a charming movie, and while watered down on the comedy side, it is a wonderful love story. this movie is unique and likeable. there are a couple chuckle worthy jokes, but the real meat of it is the one-hundred-percent entertaining plot. it really did deserve that oscar for best score.
