Below you will find a temporary review for this film. The real (better, more complete) review will be online very soon.

This is a great comedy and a great drama. It has some very big laughs but also moments you cry. The story almost hasn't aged, it still is very good.

Jack Lemmon is great and Shirley MacLaine very lovely. All the supporting actors were terrific. The black and white photography is very beautiful and of course the directing from Billy Wilder is perfect.

Never boring!
