| Inhalt: |
From the inimitable Billy Wilder (Double Indemnity, The Lost Weekend) comes this classic comedy that mixes romance with hard-boiIed wit in a story about stiff-necked lowa congresswoman Phoebe Frost (Jean Arthur Shane) mired in jaded post-war BerIin.
As she investigates the morale of American troops, Phoebe is cynicalIy wooed by fellow lowan Captain John Pringle (John Lund), who is trying to cover up his affair with Nazi-tainted chanteuse Erika von Schlütow (MarIene Dietrich Witness for the Prosecution, The BIue Angel).
Filled with sharp diaIogue and satiric jabs, A Foreign Affair is one of Wilder s most beloved comedies, and The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present the fiIm in its UK debut on Blu-ray.
