As our main character says, it wasn't his plan ... or his "sweet dream" (so no pun intended with my summary line) for that matter. No he just happened to be in the right (or wrong) place at the right (or wrong) time ... and he was on his way ... to become quite popular at his work place. Less popular with his neighbors of course - but you can't please everyone (although again his neighbors actually think he is able to do just that).
I reckon for the time this was made it was quite ... risque as they would call it. Not sure what the censorship situation was, but I know that movies were not allowed to show certain things. And I am not even talking about nudity, but moral things like a woman laying next to a man she is not married to. But at least you can talk about it now (well back then that is).
And talk they ... quite a lot! Jack Lemmon is really a sweatheart - same is true for Shirley Maclaine! They are so cute - and you kind of feel they are a match from the moment you see them. But of course it is not that easy ... but we wouldn't have a (great) movie about this, if there wasn't conflict and hurdles ... love or job? Sometimes you have to decide ... I don't think we'll be surprised too much in this case ...
