Movie-wise, there has never been anything like it - laugh-wise, love-wise, or otherwise-wise!

Bud Baxter is a minor clerk in a huge New York insurance company, until he discovers a quick way to climb the corporate ladder. He lends out his apartment to the executives as a place to take their mistresses. Although he often has to deal with the aftermath of their visits, one night he's left with a major problem to solve.

06 March 10 Shirley MacLaine is like Elena Koreneva, and Jack Lemmon is like Leonid Kuravlev! What passions formed the basis of the film! But it's good that everything ended well here. And it's great that people as soft as Baxter and Fran have learned to stand up for themselves and find each other! It’s more close Shirley MacLaine is like Elena Koreneva, and Jack Lemmon is like Leonid Kuravlev! What passions formed the basis of the film! But it's good that everything ended well here. And it's great that people as soft as Baxter and Fran have learned to stand up for themselves and find each other! It’s March and I’m still in a New Year’s mood. And a New Year's Eve movie. The winter holidays. If that’s the case, I’ll give the film the top score! :) close
