* CerebusSyndrome: While the film deftly mixes comedy and drama throughout, the relatively light first half is overtaken by a much darker second half (although the comedic scene of Baxter straining spaghetti through a tennis racket happens in the latter half).

The plot concerns one C.C. "Buddy Boy" Baxter (Lemmon), a lowly office drone at a large [[BigApplesauce New York City]] insurance firm, who has just found the solution for climbing up the corporate food chain: allowing various company bigwigs to borrow his apartment as a trysting place for their various extramarital affairs. His boss, personnel director J.D. Sheldrake ([=MacMurray=]), discovers this and promotes him – on the condition that Baxter let him have use of the apartment for his own affair. Baxter readily accedes to this arrangement, but things soon turn complicated when he discovers that his crush, mousy elevator operator Fran Kubelik ([=MacLaine=]), is Sheldrake's other woman.
