Picked up this most recent MGM release of a Billy Wilder film. The anamorphic transfer is quite nice with brilliant colors, but like The Apartment and (less so) The Fortune Cookie, it from time to time suffers from a bad case of "the shimmers" when close-set horizontal lines are in the frame (such as the storefront gate that Irma stands in front of at various times). Overall, though, this was a great deal for $15 and I would recommend it to fans. Source element flaws are sporadically noticeable, but much less frequently than in the previously mentioned films. No extras are included beyond the amusing animated trailer.
