Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: This film was produced by Mr. Wilder for Allied Artists -- in black-and-white. It is a hit.
Fresh: The production holds enchantment and delight in substantial quantity.
Fresh: It's the closest Wilder ever came to Ernst Lubitsch.
Fresh: As Andrew Sarris says, not without its cruelties, but not without its beauties as well.
Customer Reviews
PLEASE STOP TELLING MOVIE ENDINGS! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
This should be a no-brainer but the reviews always tell the ending of the movie. I was going to buy this; now I will not because there is no longer any suspense or any point. THE REVIEW RUINED THE FILM FOR ME! PLEASE STOP THE SPOILERS! Why do we have to keep asking this? it is common sense.
Love in the afternoon
I agree! I was ready to buy this one, until I read the ending. Why bother now. Thanks for ruining it for all of us!
Love the movie, hate the spoiled plot, thanks again itunes.
That pretty much says it all.
