Plots(1)
Shirley MacLaine is Irma, a popular Parisian prostitute whose new pimp is an unlikely procurer: Nestor (Jack Lemmon) is a former honest cop who was just fired and framed by his boss after Nestor inadvertently had him arrested in a raid. However, Nestor's love for Irma is making his newfound vocation impossible, so he poses as a phoney British lord who insists on being Irma's one and only "client". But when "Lord X" appears to have become the victim of foul play... further comedic complications ensue! Irma La Douce offers many of the same sardonic observations on human nature as Wilder's earlier comedies - in addition to the same riotous humour and touching romance - but on an even broader, more colourful canvas. Collaborating again with his regular screenwriter I.A.L. Diamond, Wilder delivers one of his most purely entertaining crowd-pleasers of the 1960s. (Eureka Entertainment)
