Der tugendhafte Wendell ist geschockt: Nicht nur von der Tatsache, dass sein Vater überraschend auf Ischia bei einem Autounfall gestorben ist. Denn der echte Hammer ist, dass sein alter Herr mit seiner heimlichen Geliebten im Wagen saß. Als deren attraktive Tochter Pamela auftaucht, ist es um Wendells Moral geschehen. (TELE 5)

I tried watching Avanti! twice and in both cases I felt the same mild detachment and disinterest. I have a similar feeling about Wilder as I do about Hitchcock. I knew his most famous films and in my eyes, he was a flawless creator of perfect thrillers. However, over time I realized that he was also capable of mediocre films that left me puzzled. If there is something that works perfectly in Avanti!, it is the presence of the proven Jack Lemmon, who portrays what we are accustomed to seeing from him. However, he is unable to rely on such high-quality dialogues that made The Apartment and Some Like It Hot great comedies that have not aged even after all the years. The functional humor in this film is scarce - in fact, I cannot even remember genuinely laughing even once. I couldn't relate to the characters, and Juliet Mills in the role of Pamela didn't impress me either. Perhaps only the hotel manager, Mr. Carlucci, suited my image of a comedic figure and stood out in my eyes. I also have a problem with the theme. The way it casually deals with the motif of infidelity (actually justifying it in the name of romantic excitement) somewhat irritated me. Could it be that I'm becoming a moralist in my old age? If the film had a standard runtime of 90 minutes, I would give it 3 stars, but Wilder overreached and didn't understand that this script could not sustain 140 minutes. Unfortunately, at this length, the film clearly bores me at times. Overall impression: 45%.

Eine bis ins Detail ausgearbeitete Komödie mit dem tollen Duo Jack Lemon und Juliet Mills und dem herrlichen Clive Revill in der Rolle eines professionellen Hoteliers, der jedes Problem löst und erst im Winter schläft. Er war es, der mich am meisten amüsiert hat. Man sagt, dass dieser Film "fast so gut wie“ Manche mögen's heiß ist. Unsinn. Er ist viel besser. Trotz seiner Länge ist er vom Anfang bis zum Ende unterhaltsam. Aus den vielen verschiedenen Arten von Humor hat er einen ausgewogenen Cocktail zubereitet, der sich ganz von selbst trinkt.
