If you loved Bésame, tonto, try Irma La douce
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Billy Wilder, and they both carry the playful mood tag, and they sit in Comedy / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Bésame, tonto, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Irma La douce is
Wilder tackles prostitution, which is always a delicate subject. Our lovelorn ex-cop disguises himself as an elderly English lord to monopolize the attentions of his favorite Parisian working girl. It's exactly as believable as it sounds, and probably just as funny.
