Ariadne by Billy Wilder

Ultra Collector Box Blu-ray + DVD + Book 160 pages

Billy Wilder's great classic in new 2K restoration

In Paris, the private detective Claude Chavasse specializes in cases of adultery. His daughter, Ariane, is fascinated by his work and more particularly by the case of playboy Frank Flannagan. When Ariane overhears a client of her father threatening to kill Flannagan, she runs to warn him of the danger that awaits him. When the jealous client arrives at the hotel, he finds the millionaire in the company of Ariane and not his unfaithful wife. Intrigued, Flannagan arranges a date with her the next afternoon…

Wonderfully combining cynicism and romanticism, wacky comedy and sentimental drama, Ariane marks the start of a fruitful collaboration between Billy Wilder and screenwriter IAL Diamond ( Some Like It Hot, Irma la Douce ) bringing together a trio of genius actors and exceptional (Gary Cooper, Audrey Hepburn and Maurice Chevalier). Available in its new and superb 2K restoration, Ariane is a pinnacle of sophisticated modernity in Wilder's career, here more provocative than ever!
