      Audience Member Unspectacular Billy Wilder film becomes quite tedious as it rolls along. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I didn't expect to have as much fun with it. Anyway, it was incredible just to watch such an old movie on a digital media. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member This is not a great movie -- the first half hour, in particular, is pretty awful. But it picks up speed as it goes along, and every now and then you can catch a glimpse of the filmmaker Billy Wilder will one day become. Also worth watching for a very young but already luminous Danielle Darrieux. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
