A FOREIGN AFFAIR movie (1948) - Clip <br />From the inimitable Billy Wilder (DOUBLE INDEMNITY, THE LOST WEEKEND) comes this classic comedy that mixes romance with hard-boiled wit in a story about stiff-necked Iowa congresswoman Phoebe Frost (Jean Arthur – SHANE) mired in jaded post-war Berlin. <br /> <br />As she investigates the morale of American troops, Phoebe is cynically wooed by fellow Iowan Captain John Pringle (John Lund), who is trying to cover up his affair with Nazi-tainted chanteuse Erika von Schlütow (Marlene Dietrich – WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION, THE BLUE ANGEL). <br /> <br />Filled with sharp dialogue and satiric jabs, A FOREIGN AFFAIR is one of Wilder’s most beloved comedies, and The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present the film in its UK debut on Blu-ray.
