Nedavno reprizirao ovaj film te moram priznati da mi je i dalje strašno odličan i jako drag. Nevjerojatno je dirljiv i smiješan kombinirajući na jednoj intimnoj skali dramu i komediju i to na jedan prirodan način (u pravim momentima nudi smijeh, dok u drugima je jako sentimentalan). Jack Lemmon i Shirley MacLaine su briljantni (kemija između njih jednostavno blješti), tematika je odlična (usamljenost glavnog lika te potraga za ljubavi, srećom i napredovanjem u poslu), dok je sam kraj ravan onom u Some Like It Hot. Uz Sunset Blv. i Some Like It Hot najbolji film velikog i nepremašenog Billya Wildera.

meni jedan od najdražih filmova ikada. priča je briljantna i po mojoj slobodnoj interpretaciji nema tipični holivudski hepi end. veliki adut filma je i genijalni glumački department kojeg predvode jack lemmon i shirley maclaine u koju sam se zaljubio zbog ovog filma. tako je prokleto slatka i šarmantna.

naježio sam se na ovom citatu: 'that's the way it crumbles, cookie-wise.'

Dosta filmova od Wildera sam gledao kao klinac kad su znali puštati klasike. Vrijeme je da ponovim sve to. Stavio skidat upravo 7 njegovih filmova pa ću polagano gledat
