...("Gloppita, gloppita, gloppita...), and when he is brought to court he pronounces a simply delirious, hypnotic speech in defence of a man´s right to get rid of an unbearable wife: when the entranced judge presses the imaginary button that would make his own wife go "pluff!", Jack Lemmon is acclaimed as a liberator, and he leaves the courtroom the same way a triumphant bullfighter does, on the shoulders of his public...
That scene alone is worth the whole film. And it can´t get dated: I saw it forty years ago, and to this day it still stays fresh.
Lisi comes back, with a vengeance. But so is life...
Thanks for making me smile at remembering!
