Movie Reviews of Avanti!

Movie Review: Who Would Have Thought...
Summary: 4 Stars

...that Jack Lemmon would be cavorting about naked in a film...in 1972? Perhaps a bit of Billy Wilder's priceless humor. I just saw this film on cable, and thoroughly enjoyed it for a variety of reasons. I give the film 4 stars because I don't think the script was Wilder/Diamond's best. Their best, of course, are among the all-time greatest movies--no need to mention names. Avanti is a cute little romantic comedy, set in gorgeous Ischia and the Amalfi Coast(my next door neighbor is from Ischia, and I called him about the film while I was watching it). It has the scenery, some fine acting by Lemmon, Juliet Mills and especially Clive Revill, an amusing story line (see other reviews), a great song (Senzo Fine), and, finally, Jack Lemmon and a chubby but shapely Juliet Mills skinny dipping in the Mediterranean in their semi-youthful prime. Ah. What more could you ask for? Thanks, Billy.

Movie Review: Avanti
Summary: 4 Stars

A typical Billy Wilder/Jack Lemon success!

For 1973, this a refreshing approach to love and comedy!

THOROUGHLY ENJOYED
Avanti!

Movie Review: Pleasing, Not as good as remembered
Summary: 3 Stars

Still funny, but not as good as I remembered it. Good situations, Jack Lemmon turns in a fine performance, but more than a bit dated. Still a good film, and a classic.
