Irma La Douce
Meet Nestor (Jack Lemmon), a young man with a very complicated love-life. Employed as a business manager to Irma La Douce (Shirley MacLaine), a proud and profitable lady of the streets, the poor guy has gone and fallen in love with her! So how do you keep a popular Parisienne like Irma faithful?
Simple. Disguise yourself as an elderly English Lord, who immediately becomes Irma's sole client and means of support! But what's a jealous manager to do when the illustrious Irma claims that the man she's really in love with is not the smitten Nestor, but the dotty old lord?

- " A magical and beguiling tale of love of the mean streets of Paris. " – Rob Aldam
- " Wilder somehow sustains the lively pace and humor for the two-and-a-half hour color comedy. " – Jeffrey M. Anderson
