The good thing about this film is that the involuntary and joyful performance of the little people is very good, but at the same time the lines are fun, and the happy ending is quite natural. I cried and laughed when I saw it, and after reading it, I felt a little more courageous about life.

This basic plot setting is not at all outdated now, and the situation in the company is not much better than it was 50 years ago.

In fact, the ending is a bit reluctant, and the heroine may not fall in love with him yet. But at the end the heroine coolly recites the famous "shut up and deal" instead of ending with a kiss, which is very stylish.

Jack Lemmon went a little too far and Shirley Maclaine was cute to death. In addition, Fred MacMurray played Wilder again after Double Indemnity. He actually played an insurance company employee again. He was still a high-level executive and became a villain. Compared with his role as a dead insurance company salesman in Double Indemnity, it is really amazing. creepy.
