A Foreign Affair

Billy Wilder / US, 1948 / 116 min.

An unforgettable Marlene Dietrich in a scintillating romantic comedy set among the ruins of post-war Berlin. The intelligent and cynical satire is amazingly critical about the dealings of the American occupying forces in a country full of “open graves and closed hearts”.
