Review of A Foreign Affair (1948) by Graceann M — 24 Aug 2008
Stunning for the visuals of a bombed-out Berlin and a glamorous Marlene Dietrich, this is one of Billy Wilder's fluffier confections. It's sort of Ninotcha-esque in how Jean Arthur shows up in Berlin, fresh from Iowa, completely uptight and rigid, but has her head turned by John Lund (showing yet again what an amazing actress Miss Arthur was).
Great songs and an interesting story make this a winner.
