That's the way it crumbles... cookie-wise.
1960 Billy Wilder
Billy Wilder was married to Elizabeth Taylor, the night after I watched this she dies. My friend Andy in Vashon looks very much like a young Jack Lemon.
Starring Jack Lemon and Shirley MacLaine.
Bud Baxter works in a large insurance company in New York, he rents a cosy appartment downtown close to Central Park, he lends out his appartment to the executives in the company for their extramarital liasons on the promise they will get him promoted by putting a good word in with the big boss. The big boss wants to use his appartment too.
Bud fancies the lift operator, Fran Kubelik, played by Shirley MacLaine. Fran is the boss's bit on the side.
Bud has choose between his heart and his job, a good story line even if it is a love story.
Perfectly enjoyable lazy afternoon film, and should be a lot higher on the list than a lot of the others.
7.5/10
