If you loved Irma la Douce, try Avanti!
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 both carry the bittersweet, playful mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Irma la Douce, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Avanti! is
It seems Italians do it better, even in death. A businessman travels to Italy to retrieve his father's body. It's a Wilder take on love and death.
