And shoutout to Moustache, the barman/Romanian chicken thief/lawyer/colonel/doctor, who was a total hoot. The movie asks progressive and interesting questions in the first hour only to throw them away and want the characters to live a traditional life and not ask those questions again.

You have a former cop who gets roped into being a pimp, but the pimps just kind of get money to play pool, while the hookers battle it out to buy their pimps better stuff I think. Critiquing justice, honesty, and love, Irma la Douce is an incredibly funny film, but the comedy merely covers up the dark underlying current to this film: the police are incompetent, honesty has no place in this world, and love is impossible without some lies attached.

I can't help but love them.For about an hour or so, I was almost convinced to be watching an undertalked masterpiece that got obfuscated by Wilder's impressive repertoire. Shirley MacLaine and Jack Lemmon have amazing chemistry and give amazing performances .
The film has a strong beginning and climax, though it drags a lot in the middle (it has no reason to be as long as it is).
