The Notorious Landlady (1962 Richard Quine)

Written by Larry Gelbart and Blake Edwards, from a story by Margery Sharp.

Film is great fun as Lemmon immediately falls for the Kim Novak of the title, aided and abetted by Fred Astaire and Lionel Jeffries. Hollywood London is full of fog and 'Slaughterhouse Lane's, topped by wacky, silent scenes to Gilbert & Sullivan.


Our second Novak / Quine / Duning collaboration of the day.
