I like that one, too. And there's another movie by Billy Wilder in which Marlene 
looks & acts like Katje in my imagination. I think of the German nightclub 
singer Erika von Schluetow in "A foreign Affair" from 1948, a somehow black 
comedy on love in the times of reeducation.
Billy Wilder is great! "Some like it hot" (1959) belongs definitely to the 5 
films I'd take to that notorious lonesome island.      

Best, Kai
