Plot Synopsis:
This bawdy, Academy Award-winning farce, which reunites The Apartment's Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine (in a Best Actress Oscar-nominated performance), is a "charming antic romantic comedy" (The New York Times) directed and co-written by Billy Wilder.
Meet Nestor (Jack Lemmon), a young man with a very complicated love life. Employed as business manager to Irma La Douce (Shirley MacLaine) - a proud and profitable lady of the streets - the poor guy had gone and fallen in love with her! So how do you keep a popular Parisiennne like Irma faithful? Simple. Disguise yourself as an elderly English Lord who immediately becomes Irma's sole client and means of support! But what's a jealous manager to do when the illustrious Irma claims that the man she's really in love with is not the smitten Nestor but the dotty old lord himself?
