Billy Wilder can (almost) do no wrong. With the exception of KISS ME, STUPID (1964), I can't think of a Wilder film that I dislike. - @Tuesday, December 18, 2018 4:20 AM

Vastly underrated and charming movie. Perhaps if it been made ten years earlier it might have been a success. By 1972, this kind of romantic comedy was out of vogue - temporarily. - @Sunday, December 16, 2018 3:37 AM
