How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A raunchy farce about small-town hustlers and their schemes to seduce a famous lounge singer, shot with Billy Wilder's sharp eye for desperation masquerading as romance. It's a showcase of contrivance and sexual comedy that pivots on whether you find charm in its characters' pathetic machinations.
