A Manhattan insurance clerk tries to rise in his company by letting its executives use his apartment for trysts, but complications and a romance of his own ensue. The sophisticated yet cynical film of the early 60s is a bleak assessment of corporate America, big business and capitalism, success, and the work ethic, when a lowly but ambitious accountant enables his climb up the corporate ladder by ingratiating himself to his superiors. This Gleeful, Ingenious and 5 time Oscar winning movie written and directed by Billy Wilder along with actors, Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLane and Fred MacMurray is a Smashing Comedy.
