(Billy Wilder, US 1960, 125 min.)

Young corporate flunky C.C. Baxter (Jack Lemmon, in perhaps his greatest role) quickly climbs the ladder of success when he begins lending his apartment key to his superiors, who are looking for a clandestine place for their afternoon trysts. The situation is complicated when Lemmon falls for Fran Kubelik (Shirley MacLaine), the top executive’s girlfriend. Co-writer and director Wilder skewers corporate America with this great satire and love story that won Oscars® for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Screenplay.
