REVIEW
Wilder is in Lubitsch territory with this witty black comedy that while retaining the director's cynical touch also manages to be sweetly romantic. Lemmon is in good form as a stuffy corporate exec who travels to Italy to retrieve the body of his father, killed while on vacation. When he arrives, he learns his father had a mistress (who was also killed). While trying to wade through red tape in getting the body back, he begins a relationship with the woman's daughter (Mills). Not quintessential Wilder, but very amusing and often charming. Editor's Suggestions
