The Notorious Landlandy - 1962 ***

 
Bit of a shock to see an aging Fred Astaire in such a 'risque' film as this, but lovely to see Novak looking all beautiful, and Lemmon being his usual goofy self. Carly can't get anyone to rent a room in her house after her husband mysteriously disappears because everyone thinks she had something to do with it. Enter gormless William Gridley, just flown in from America and completely out of the loop with anything murder or disappearance related. Finding this room in such a lovely apartment is like a dream come true for him and he jumps at the chance, having no idea he might be in the same building as a suspected killer. His boss Franklyn is furious that he has got himself in this predicament, that is until he actually meets Carly...
Silly fluff, not a bad film really.
