Avanti! Ratings & Reviews

Sean Axmaker
[Director Billy] Wilder takes his time with the pacing and the result is a classic romantic comedy of the modern American world colliding with the provincial Italian way of life ...
Moviepudding (Substack)
Elissa Suh
Confidently languorous in pacing, it is not unlike the stride of an Italian afternoon, which hinges on a punctuated and generous lunch hour.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Wilder justifies this film's length (144 minutes) with its loving, carefree and even relaxing Italian vacation atmosphere.
TV Guide
TV Guide Staff
A delightful romantic comedy, Billy Wilder style, meaning that its romanticism is curdled and its comedy is amusingly dark.

Steve Crum
Weak Billy Wilder is worth a watch.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It has many delightfully absurd moments in which Jack Lemmon and Brit actress Juliet Mills thoroughly exploit to the fullest.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Avanti! isn't a laugh-a-minute kind of a movie, and it's too long by maybe half an hour.
Cleveland Press
Tony Mastroianni
What should have been light, fluffy, sophisticated comedy is instead heavy handed, tasteless and sometimes nasty.
Nitrate Online
Dan Lybarger
It's not vintage Billy Wilder, but even lesser Wilder has wit to spare.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
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.
New York Times
A.H. Weiler
Intermittently funny, charming, cute and, unfortunately, over-long.
