Lemmon, MacLaine & Wilder... they did it again! I got to catch this movie on TCM... because of a marathon they had in memory of Jack Lemmon's death. (I'm still mourning...) Having already seen "The Apartment", I was THRILLED that I would finally get a chance to see "Irma La Douce." I was not disappointed! Billy Wilder is one of the FINEST screenwriters and directors ever... there is no question about that. But the chemistry he has with Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine... it's just fantastic! Shirley MacLaine ALWAYS does a great job playing 'bad girls with good hearts' (take for example, "Sweet Charity"). She's such a talent and you HAVE to adore her (and the fetish with green stockings) in this movie. Jack Lemmon is another FINE actor... I have always had the greatest of admiration for him. He's such a delight to see on-screen... with his great comic timing and just-- the way he can deliver a line! This is a hilarious movie with some incredibly weird twists (I'm STILL trying to figure out how Lord X was in the chapel and at the same time... Nester's in with Irma and the baby...). Make sure you see this one folks... it's wonderful!
