Review of Irma la Douce (1963) by Kenny S — 24 Feb 2011
When I was 6 I saw this film. A few images, including the look of Lord X, a man dressing as X in the bathroom while talking to a woman in the other room, and the image of both the costume floating to the surface and Lord X walking back up out of the water.
..these images have been haunting me for 17 years as I tried to figure out what the hell the film was. The search is over, and I am relieved. Having finally watched the film I found it to be okay. It isn't great, but it is an okay comedy.
I was really shocked to discover that it is a comedy about french whores. This film is totally inappropriate for 6 year old me. Lemmon gives his usual all, but MacLaine is pretty awful.
