Irma la Douce
A story of passion, bloodshed, desire and death... everything, in fact, that makes life worth living.
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.
