Starring Shirley MacLaine, Jack Lemmon, Lou Jacobi
Director Billy Wilder reunited with THE APARTMENT stars Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine for this enchanting, Paris-set comedy of sex and mistaken identity. Meet Nestor (Lemmon), a young French policeman with a very complicated love life. To keep his beloved, the proud and profitable lady of the night Irma la Douce (MacLaine) off the streets, he disguises himself as Lord X, who immediately becomes Irma’s sole client and means of support. But what’s a jealous boyfriend to do when Irma claims that the man she’s really in love with is not the smitten Nestor, but the dotty old Lord himself?
