Synopsis: Set in Paris' famous Red Light district, a rookie policeman (Jack Lemmon) plots to keep a beautiful prostitute (Shirley MacLaine) all to himself in this hit comedy from director Billy Wilder.
Summary: Though the film is not a musical, it won André Previn an Academy Award for Best Score—Adaptation or Treatment. There is also a scene in the film, in which Shirley MacLaine exclaims "Dis-donc!" whilst dancing on a table, which appears to be a deliberate tribute to the musical from which the film is derived.
The film was nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role (Shirley MacLaine) and Best Cinematography, Color.
