  2. #Iwatched #TheApartment (1960) again. #BillyWilder had already sympathized with the role of women in #SomeLikeItHot. This classic looks at their bleak modern work situation. Like that of elevator girl #ShirleyMacLaine who falls for a company boss that cynically uses her for sex. #JackLemmon provides the apartment for such rendezvous. And he delivers his erratic brand of slapstick that barely allows to call this a comedy. In truth it is more of a grim social study that appeals for being a mensch.

  8. #Iwatched #Tootsie (1982) a movie about NYC actors, playing actors and one actress. It's quite meta. #DustinHoffman has to pretend being a woman to get a job, much like #TonyCurtis and #JackLemmon did. But this takes a closer look at the relationships touched by the charade and women's lib (which we always suspected just needed a man to do right). The scenes with #BillMurray are a highlight, other than that it's very busy with itself.

  9. LE BAL DES CINGLÉS - Richard Quine - 1957 - ★★★⭑
    ---
    Une comédie de guerre enlevée plein de rythme et d’extravagance. Des dialogues ciselés et piquants, un humour décapant d’une grande finesse psychologique qui ne manque pas d’imprévisibilité.

  10. 📽️ OPERATION MAD BALL - Richard Quine -(1957) - ★★★⭑
    ---
    A fast-paced war comedy full of rhythm and extravagance. Sharp, witty dialogue and biting humor with great psychological finesse and plenty of unpredictability.

  11. 3 things about John G. Avildsen’s SAVE THE TIGER [1973]

    1. Garters for his socks.
    2. “You want something?”
    “Yes … I want that girl in a Cole Porter song. I want to see Lena Horne at the Cotton Club. Hear Billie Holiday sing ‘Fine and Mellow.’ Walk in that kind of rain that never washes the perfume away. I want to be in love with something. Anything.”
    3. He slips him the envelope of cash and tells him to do it Sunday, while Phil is out fishing.
