Jack Lemmon plays a dim insurance clerk whose career is advanced by lending his squalid Manhattan flat to his lecherous exurban bosses.
Arguably the definitive Wilder movie, this cruel Brechtian fable won three Academy Awards, with an Oscar-nominated Jack Lemmon playing a dim insurance company clerk whose career is advanced by lending his squalid Manhattan flat to his lecherous exurban bosses. Shirley MacLaine is the exploited lift attendant he cares for. Fred MacMurray as a chilly department chief reprises his Double Indemnity insurance salesman 17 years on.
