Good Neighbor Sam (1964 David Swift)

Despite having plot holes big enough to drive Romy Schneider's Ford Thunderbird through (James Fritzell, Everett Greenbaum & Swift adapted Jack Finney's novel), an enjoyable event, which kicks off like Reggie Perrin meets Mad Men and ends up in the kind of crazy antics you find in American pictures of this era (featuring that Bradbury Building, which appears in everything from Douglas Sirk's Shockproof  to (500) Days of Summer and Bladerunner).

Jack received another BAFTA nomination.

At 2 hours 10 film is too long, but what really makes this stand out is the chemistry / relationship between Lemmon and Schneider, playing his wife's best friend - they have to pretend to be married. Jack (hardly) has an unseemly thought about this situation and nor does she - they're like really good instant friends working towards a common goal (millions of dollars). Lemmon is great as he is in everything, Romy is very fresh, energetic and lovely.

With Dorothy Provine, Mike Connors, Edward Andrews.

Catchy theme from de Vol, shot by Burnett Guffey.

As I pointed out before, they missed a trick - the graffitied posters should have been a great success.
