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.

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).

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.
