Five Stars: ˜˜˜˜˜
Billy Wilder’s 1954 romantic comedy set an industry standard with an American fairy tale. Don’t watch the 1995 remake, go straight for the original! All the glamorous stars shine brightly in this perfect example of Hollywood’s golden age. Classism, romanticism and humor are all allowed to creatively develop when the daughter of a servant falls in love with the son of the castle—only to have his brother fall for her.
MEMORABLE QUOTES
“A woman happily in love, she burns the soufflé. A woman unhappily in love, she forgets to turn on the oven.”
“Twentieth century? Why, I could pick a century out of a hat, blindfolded, and come up with a better one!”
“I've been trying to write her a poem, but I can't seem to finish it. What rhymes with ‘glass?’”
