Legend Billy Wilder directs this romantic comedy about insurance statistician C.C. "Bud" Baxter (Lemmon). Bud makes his Manhattan apartment available to executives in his company, to take their floosies to. His boss, Sheldrake (MacMurray), finds out and promotes Bud in return for the exclusive use of the apartment for his own affair. When Sheldrake's girlfriend turns out to be Fran Kubelik (MacLaine), a pretty elevator operator Bud's had his eye on, he is heartbroken but accepts the arrangement.
