Comedy | Romance | Drama | Dir: Billy Wilder | 137min
w/ Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine, Herschel Bernardi, Lou Jacobi
Naive, "by the book" French police officer Nester Patou (Jack Lemmon), is transferred to the Parisan Red Light district.
Upon witnessing what must be a brothel, he calls the station and organizes a raid, transporting all the 'ladies' to the jail.
This unfortunately disrupts the well organized system of the police and the Pimps union.
Not to mention inadvertently netting his station superior at the brothel.
Fired, he goes to a bar to drink, is befriended by Irma, beats up her pimp, and finds he is now Irma's reluctant new pimp.
Nester's doesn't like the thought of his girl seeing other men, so comes up with a plan.
In 1963, Billy Wilder's Irma La Douce was one of the biggest box-office hits of the year, grossing twice as much as The Great Escape and The Birds.
Yet this popular movie has been almost completely forgotten by film history, even to fans of Wilder or stars Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine (the same trio had made a masterpiece, The Apartment, three years earlier).
It doesn't represent the best work of those legends, but Irma provides tart entertainment.
At least some of the movie's popularity can be chalked up to its subject, which was pretty risqué for the time: Lemmon plays a Paris policeman who falls in love with a prostitute (MacLaine).
The script was adapted from a stage musical, but Wilder decided to cut the songs, instead developing the humor and romance into his own blend of bittersweet perversity; this Technicolor-fantasy Paris is kind of a dark cousin to Gigi.
Lemmon is in his prime period of hand-wringing self-doubt, and MacLaine is perfectly in tune with his rhythms, especially in scenes that add tenderness to the sometimes queasy mix of moods.
Ironically--given the nixing of the songs--the film won its only Oscar for André Previn's adaptation of the stage play's music into a wordless orchestral score.
