The Apartment (1960)

Jack Lemmon is strangely charming. He's not all that attractive, goofy looking really, and his voice is sort of annoying but he's endearing somehow.

The Apartment is a comedy of errors in which Lemmon's character climbs the ladder at work by lending out his apartment to wayfaring men and their dates. Of course, this all goes wonky when Lemmon climbs to a rung higher than those men thanks to the big boss--the former apartment borrowers get a little snippy about being passed over and the bog boss, well his date is the elevator girl Lemmon is smitten with. And then things get interesting. It's cute and definitely worth a watch.
