#IrmalaDouce is flawed, utterly insane... and magic. This odd portrait at its core, is a fairytale wrapped in farce, a love story that understands love itself is often the most absurd force of all... the effervescently alluring Shirley MacLaine helps, too. boxd.it/9bUr01

Film is not always about perfection, film is witnessing Shirley MacLaine light up a screen with simply a smile and green stockings, and Jack Lemmon bumbling his way through insanity, reveling in the eccentric, as long as it makes you feel, and oh, does #IrmalaDouce make you feel.

There are films that demand to be dissected, and then there are films like #IrmalaDouce, ones that simply exist to sweep you off your feet in its absurdity, and leave you with a smile. This is a film that makes no attempt at realism... and that is exactly why it is so enchanting.

Together, Shirley MacLaine and Jack Lemmon transcend what could have been a flimsy, nonsensical romance into something unexpectedly moving. They force you to believe in #IrmalaDouce, a ridiculous, wonderful love story you will route for... even when all logic says you should not.

Lord X, his completely fictional character, is outrageously over the top, #IrmalaDouce should be impossible to believe, but this is Jack Lemmon, infusing every moment with a true desperation and sincerity, you want him to succeed, even as you shake your head in the impossibility.

Jack Lemmon, master of controlled chaos, delivers a perfect marriage of hilarity and endearment in his picture of Nestor, a man truly out of his depth, a moralistic fool stumbling into love, and through pure panic, creates an elaborate double life to keep #IrmalaDouce to himself.

#IrmalaDouce... Irma the Sweet, a woman who finds happiness in the life forged for herself, hysterically sharp, devastatingly charming, and utterly irresistible. There is infinite strength in the quiet wisdom beneath her playfulness... and Shirley MacLaine plays it to perfection.

The ethereal Shirley MacLaine (there are truly no words, but I will try nonetheless) illuminates #IrmalaDouce with an effortless combination of vulnerability and strength that defines her best roles, more than the manic pixie dream girl of 1960s cinema, she is a force of nature.

There is something celestial in the bond of Shirley MacLaine and Jack Lemmon. Their dynamic immortalised in The Apartment, sparked once more in #IrmalaDouce with a sense of playfulness and warmth. They belong together on screen, like Tracy and Hepburn, a duet of humor and heart.

#IrmalaDouce is the magic of Technicolor at its finest, a fantasy embracing theatricality over authenticity... the way the camera focuses on those signature green stockings of Irma, how it lingers on Irma and Nestor, drinking in their chemistry... their inevitable fall into love.

From the first frame of #IrmalaDouce, you are transported to Paris, rather, a meticulously crafted version of it, bursting with life, where the cobblestone streets shine under the neon lights, and every detail, from the extravagant costumes to painted backdrops look like a dream.

This truly should not work, yet in all of its ridiculousness, overindulgence, and refusal to be the traditional romantic comedy, #IrmalaDouce is intoxicatingly charming, not asking for logic, but winking at it, and perhaps, even throwing it out the window of a Parisian apartment.

#IrmalaDouce paints an absurd beauty in its Parisian fantasy through the wonder of Billy Wilder, a fever dream fuelled in the enchantment of Technicolor, where the farcical dance of love pirouettes with deception, and its streets glow with an almost painterly theatrical vibrance.

Ah Paris ! Ses Champs-Elysées, son bar tabac et son hôtel à putes.
Charmant #IrmaLaDouce.
Un conte de fée en mode farce coquine purement Wilderienne dans ses soubresauts comiques et autres ressorts scénaristiques.
Comme quoi la coloc Lemmon/MacLaine ça marche.

#BillyWilder’s lavish #IrmaLaDouce boils down to a dirty party joke, but audiences flocked to see #JackLemmon & #ShirleyMacLaine in a fantasy French red light district. #GlennErickson digs the transfer quality in the #KLStudioClassics Blu-ray reissue:
