    Synopsis

    Name Synopses Official ? Options
    Shaimaa Saied In hopes of getting promoted, insurance worker C.C. Baxter lends his apartment to company bosses to use for extramarital affairs, but when he finds out that his manager is taking advantage of the girl he fancies, he's faced with a moral dilemma. 245
    Tarek Sharkawy As an attempt to climb through the corporate ladder, "Bud" Baxter (Jack Lemmon) allows four company managers, who reinforce their position over him by regularly calling him "Buddy Boy," to take turns borrowing his Upper West Side apartment for their various extramarital liaisons. The company's personnel director asks for the same favour from Bud, but it turns out that his date is Bud's current crush. 404

    Trivia

    Name Trivia Body Criteria Options
    Tarek Sharkawy In a scene where Lemmon was supposed to mime being punched, he failed to move correctly and was accidentally knocked down. Wilder chose to use the shot of the genuine punch in the film.
    Tarek Sharkawy The film was nominated for ten Academy Awards, and won five, including Best Picture.
    Tarek Sharkawy Although Billy Wilder generally required his actors to adhere exactly to the script, he allowed Jack Lemmon to improvise in two scenes: in one scene he squirted a bottle of nose drops across the room, and in another he sang while making a meal of spaghetti (which he strains through the grid of a tennis racket).
    Tarek Sharkawy The film was Billy Wilder's next movie after Some Like It Hot and, like its predecessor, a commercial and critical smash, grossing $25 million at the box office.
