The Notorious Landlady
(1962)
Runtime: 126 min
Country:
USA
Language: English
Synopsis: This eccentric comedy
mystery set principally in London features a sparkling cast led by Jack Lemmon,
Kim Novak and, briefly, Fred Astaire as the American ambassador. Lemmon plays a
newly arrived diplomat whose landlady (Novak), is suspected of murdering her
husband who has vanished. When the husband does appear, Novak promptly shoots
him. After that twist the plot thickens — so much, in fact, that Lemmon
admitted that he didn't have a clue what was going on in Blake Edwards and
Larry Gelbart's screenplay. “I delivered lines with absolute
conviction,” he said, “and I haven't the faintest idea what they
meant.” London is created entirely on studio sets, giving the film an arch
theatricality, like a blend of Arsenic and Old Lace, a Gilbert and Sullivan
operetta and Agatha Christie.
