WHAT IT'S ABOUT:C.C. Baxter (Lemmon), a junior executive in an insurance company, climbs the corporate ladder by lending out his conveniently located apartment for the assignations of his superiors. Complications begin when the young man falls for elevator girl Fran Kubelik (MacLaine), who is also the big boss's girlfriend. WHY I LOVE IT:Wilder seamlessly blends comedy, romance and pathos in this touching tale of a lonely man forced to confront the corruption of his life just as he falls helplessly in love. With winning performances by all-- and a priceless script by Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond-- this film deservedly won Best Picture of 1960, and stands as my favorite Wilder film. |
