Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

This is Wilder on Wilder, really, even though he's intelligently interviewed by Michel Ciment (film critic from Positif), affectionately talked about by Lemmon and Matthau, and the whole is filmed with style by Annie Tresgot. Because the cunning old professional knows exactly where he wants the film to go: he's as capable of directing, with humour, from in front of as from behind the camera. Lovely stuff.
