National Film Archive of India: Irma La Douce (USA/ 1963/ Colour/ 147 min). Directed by Billy Wilder, the cast includes Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine, Lou Jacobi, Bruce Yarnell, Herschel Bernardi and Hope Holiday.

Naive cop (Jack Lemmon) falls for Parisian streetwalker (Shirley MacLaine) and impersonates an English Lord in order to keep Irma to himself. "This is a story of passion, bloodshed, desire and death," says the narrator, adding laconically, "Everything in fact, that makes life worth living."

Elaborating further on Wilder’s continuing fascination with collisions between innocence and experience, the film has an abundance and vitality that spills over from its performances, colour, music and design. The set was constructed in a 360 degree fashion so shooting could be done in any direction. MacLaine won the Golden Globe award and Andre Previn won an Oscar for music.
