The Notorious Landlady

Jack Lemmon, Kim Novak, and Fred Astaire star as American characters in early sixties London, navigating a murder mystery, a budding romance, and potential embarrassment to the US Embassy. Lemmon later confided, the romance-comedy-mystery film "had so many twists and turns I couldn't follow it. A couple of years ago it came on television and I sat through it again and still couldn't get a handle on it. I delivered lines in that picture with absolute conviction - and I haven't the faintest idea to this day what they meant." Currently streaming for free on Tubi in the US.
