Avanti (1972 Billy Wilder)

It was inevitable. In a great film you've seen over and over, and can quote and tell the background stories, it's always a pleasure when you spot something new. In the opening scene on the plane when the pilots are alerted that two men are in the toilet, one, then another, then another come out to have a look. Who's flying the plane?

Jack and Juliet are a dream team. I particularly like her reaction shots as they're driving through Ischia (or wherever they are).

Also should mention lower down the cast list Gianfranco Barra (as Bruno), Franco Angrisano (chief negotiating Trotta), Guidarino Guidi (Maitre d' - 'Can I have the apple peeled for you?'), Giacomo Rizzo (barman) and Harry Ray (Dr. Fleischmann - makeup artist on many things including The Odd Couple, How To Murder Your Wife, Kotch, The April Fools, The Apartment and this!)

It's also a text book example of how to choose shot sizes to great effect e.g. morgue scene.

Is this from the upper floor of the Grand Hotel Vittoria Exclesior?
