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 The Seven Year Itch, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What A Foreign Affair is

Billy Wilder takes on post-war Berlin, which seems ambitious. A US Army captain juggles a congresswoman's investigation and a relationship with a former Nazi singer. It's probably fair to say the film-makers had a good time.
