Still holds up to this day. Wonderful movie
Kind of a surprising story for a movie from that decade. I liked it.
One of the all time best romantic comedies.
A classic must watch. Great all the way through. Funny and smart.. go watch it. You won’t be disappointed
Beyond just being a funny film, the subject matter is surprisingly dark given the time it was released.
Really charming and entertaining. One of the greatest comedies.
Billy Wilders classic satire of Love & Loneliness in 1960's modern times. 10/10 "Shut Up & Deal!"
No one has remade this film because it’s completely perfect the way it is. No one can touch it. Humour, heart and heartbreak... timeless
Wow, what a film! The witty script, the perfect casting, the virtuosic direction. They just don't do movies like this anymore
All the stylistic attributes of a 40s film but absurdly libertine for it’s time. Really good movie.
