I do not agree, it's not a perfect 10. Well, I am a huge Billy Wilder fan and I almost cried when I read the news he had died. I remember being in Spain...
But anyway, as much as I love Billy, this is a very good movie, but it's not perfect. The first 30 minutes are, that I admit, but then it slows down. I know that this is intended. The second act is all about being trapped in this bizarro world, but since you do know how it's ending and no other person appears, the end is too obvious. The only thing is to guess who will be pulling that trigger, isn't it?!
Btw, I love DVD, and the audio commentary is really useful in this one. There are some hidden jokes, you will not get unless you were living during these days or you have done extend studies of the history of Hollywood, for example the dialogue with the producer.
I do agree with everyone here that it's great acting by all the cast.
So I will settle for a 8 or maybe 9 out of 10. Macaulay J. Connor
