This is another great movie that's currently free on YouTube but it may not be there, free or free of ads for long. It's Irma La Douce, the 1963 Billy Wilder movie that reunited Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine after The Apartment. It's a bit long but well worth the trip if you've never seen it. Just about anything Billy Wilder did before his last few films is worth watching, especially if it has Jack Lemmon in it. The one time I got to speak with Mr. Wilder, we got to talking about Lemmon and he said, approximately, "I wish I had a nickel for every actor whose agent tried to sell him to me as The New Jack Lemmon. But there's only been one and I got him…several times."
Amidst the opening titles, Shirley MacLaine sells her services to a man with a mustache. That's Lou Krugman, one of those always-working-but-you-never-knew-his-name actors I've mentioned here before. The guy was in everything…even an episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show in which Rob Petrie tried to buy a fur coat from him for Laura. I'm more interested in this kind of actor than I am in Big Stars…and I'll bet his agent never tried selling him as The New Jack Lemmon.
Here's the link to watch Irma La Douce. Hope it's still there and ad-free.
