It's sort of Ninotcha-esque in how Jean Arthur shows up in Berlin, fresh from Iowa, completely uptight and rigid, but has her head turned by John Lund (showing yet again what an amazing actress Miss Arthur was). Great songs and an interesting story make this a winner.

don't like it. stupid non-sense story. only dietrich glitters like hell. yes i saw it for her sake but i expected something more than singing, faces or being charming. er

a good film,marlene dietrich gibes a good and unique performance.jean arthur was over shadowed by dietrich

The poster says it all: Jean Arthurs old-fashioned performance is clearly overshadowed by Marlene Dietrich in one of her most intriguing performances.

Jean Arthur is just an actress I like. Marlene Dietrich puts in a great performance and provides a sense of what the post-WWII Germany must have been like for the people. Very touching.

I want this film to be on DVD. One of Billy Wilder' s best and a really funny romantic comedy farce.

Otra de las joyas olvidadas de la casi perfecta filmografia de Billy Wilder. Una de sus peliculas mas personales con una sensualisima Dietrich que interpreta Black Market
