A Foreign Affair | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

It's a tall order for a romantic comedy, and yet, Wilder instills an effortless tone which makes even its morbidity escapable, at times.

A Foreign Affair isn't the best Wilder comedy but it's certainly a cynical film for the era.

Tries to thread the needle between stylish comedy and the palpable sense of horror and sadness that Wilder brought as a returning survivor of the Jewish diaspora.

The bitterness of A Foreign Affair is thus likely to linger after its laughs have passed.
