Good Neighbor Sam

(1964)Directed by David Swift130 minComedy
“Slam! Bam! Here comes Sam!...Caught in the Middle of a Two-Woman Jam!”

Sam Bissel (Jack Lemmon) wants to keep the promotion he just landed at his advertising firm, a job that depends on looking like a wholesome family man. Then his wife's divorced best friend, Janet Lagerlof (Romy Schneider), needs someone to pose as her husband so she can collect a large inheritance, and Sam is talked into the part. David Swift shoots it in bright Eastman Color, Lemmon at the center of it, one pretended marriage already spilling into his office.
