Jack Lemmon lends out his apartment to various cads where he works. He is hoping for a promotion by being so accommodating. Billy Wilder at his cynical best. Good performances all around: Fred MacMurray is particularly good as a hypocritical boss. Shirley MacLaine is the love interest. Fred MacMurray is stringing her along. Jack Lemmon is truly in love with her. Lemmon, naturally, doesn't know whom MacMurray is bringing to his apartment. Not yet, at least. 1960 or so . . . excellent so far
Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
