CRITICS OF "Avanti (1972)"

Film4

A biting farce about an American in Italy, this gets great comic mileage out of Lemmon, Mills and the Mediterranean, but Wilder seems uncertain whether he's laughing with or at his protagonists.

Chicago Sun-Times

Avanti! isn't a laugh-a-minute kind of a movie, and it's too long by maybe half an hour.

October 23, 2004

Resource

TV Guide

A delightful romantic comedy, Billy Wilder style, meaning that its romanticism is curdled and its comedy is amusingly dark.

August 14, 2007

Resource

Combustible Celluloid

Wilder justifies this film's length (144 minutes) with its loving, carefree and even relaxing Italian vacation atmosphere.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews

It has many delightfully absurd moments in which Jack Lemmon and Brit actress Juliet Mills thoroughly exploit to the fullest.

December 20, 2005

Video-Reviewmaster.com

Weak Billy Wilder is worth a watch.

April 28, 2006

Empire Magazine

Gentle and touching satirical drama with Lemmon on form but without much bite.

February 13, 2001

Nitrate Online

It's not vintage Billy Wilder, but even lesser Wilder has wit to spare.

February 02, 2003

Bright Lights Film Journal

There is a lot of Billy Wilder in [Avanti!], including the idea that age is a state of mind. The film doesn't all work, [but] when the rigid Armbruster warms up on a sunny rock,... Wilder is telling us something that is more than just fun.

Time Out

Marvellous performances from Lemmon and Mills.

June 24, 2006

New York Times

Intermittently funny, charming, cute and, unfortunately, over-long.

January 01, 2000

Resource

Chicago Reader

This 1972 release is the most underrated of all Billy Wilder comedies and arguably the one that comes closest to the sweet mastery and lilting grace of his mentor, Ernst Lubitsch.
