If you loved A Foreign Affair, try The Major and the Minor

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Billy Wilder, and they sit in Comedy / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to A Foreign Affair, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Major and the Minor is

Wilder does screwball. A woman pretends to be a child to save money on a train ticket, then finds herself befriended by a U.S. Army major. It's all relatively harmless until the movie remembers it has to be a romance.
