Director Billy Wilder's 1960 film stars Jack Lemmon as C.C. Baxter, a lowly worker at an insurance company who wins over his superiors by loaning out his apartment for their affairs. C.C. soon finds himself in trouble when he falls in love with one of their conquests (Shirley MacLaine).
The movie is the basis for the musical "Promises, Promises," which premiered on Broadway in 1968 and was revived on Broadway in 2010.
