Editorial
Billy Wilder scored one of his biggest hits—and Shirley MacLaine an Oscar® nomination—with this colorfully designed crowd-pleaser adapted from a French musical. Costarring Jack Lemmon and written by the legendary I. A. L. Diamond, Irma La Douce is an epically scaled satire on the true price of love.
