Good Neighbor Sam (1964)
The plot of Good Neighbor Sam is a bit complicated, but it’s quite funny. Jack Lemmon stars as a happily married man who would like to get ahead in his advertising firm but has never gotten the breaks. When his opportunity finally arrives, it’s at a very inconvenient time. He lands a huge dairy account because the firm knows he’s a respectable family man and the head of the company (Edward G. Robinson) wants to work with someone he can trust. At the same time, his neighbor (Romy Schneider) gets a letter saying she’s to inherit millions if she can prove she’s still married to her ex-husband. Romy suggests, or does she slyly con Jack and his wife (Dorothy Provine) into suggesting, that Jack move into her place for a little while and pretend to be her husband. It’ll be just until the insurance inspector checks them out, and she’ll split the money for their trouble.
As Jack lives a double life at home, he tries not to let anyone at work find out about it. It’s funny, frisky, and full of sixties sex jokes. Yes, it gets a little silly at times, but that’s to be expected given the time period. If you’re a Jack fan, definitely check it out. It’s a great choice to balance out a heavy drama of his if you’re having a marathon. And Dorothy is as cute as it gets – giving a valiant effort to replace Doris Day!
