A very strange picture, which at times seems very progressive and at other times is the most sexist movie ever made. I’d love to read a modern, feminist perspective on this film. Jack Lemmon’s performance is great (good mimicry and physical comedy from him, which you don’t always see) and there are some classic Wilder/Diamond zingers. Plus, Lou Jacobi in the perfect supporting role. It is about 30 minutes too long and the ending is retarded, but pretty hard to dislike this amiable farce.
