Diamond<\/a> &#8212; won five Oscars (including Best Picture) and was nominated for five more, possibly as a belated or combined acknowledgement of the team&#8217;s comedy classic <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=28643\"><em>Some Like It Hot<\/em> (1959)<\/a> from the year before. In his <em>Alternate Oscars<\/em>, Peary gives the Best Picture award for 1960 to <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=5177\"><em>Psycho<\/em><\/a> rather than this film, which he argues &#8220;was daring in its day because of the amorality of its characters and because it mixed humor with such serious elements as a suicide attempt&#8221;, but today is &#8220;somewhat dated and&#8230; still has a dubious premise&#8221;. While I can&#8217;t argue with Peary&#8217;s choice of <em>Psycho<\/em> as Best Picture, I disagree that this film &#8212; inspired by a sequence from David Lean&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=42154\"><em>Brief Encounter<\/em> (1945)<\/a> &#8212; is dubious or dated; it&#8217;s actually held up remarkably well on numerous fronts. <\/p>\n<p>While one might question the need for a usable apartment when hotel rooms are readily available, it seems clear that this type of arrangement is about much more than a private space for sex: it&#8217;s about making the woman feel comfortable, happy, and unashamed of her fling (much easier in a fully furnished apartment with a kitchen, bar, sofa, and record player). It&#8217;s also, of course, about power: as an underling lost in a sea of other employees, Lemmon &#8220;freely&#8221; giving up his apartment night after night (even during bitterly cold weather, when he has nowhere else to go) is a way for him to demonstrate his loyalty and willingness to suffer in order to become part of the upper-echelon crowd. His aspiration story is a fascinating one, but so is MacLaine&#8217;s tale of woebegone romance &#8212; and the lives of the other supporting characters (including MacMurray, wonderfully cast against type here) are rich as well. Wilder&#8217;s direction, combined with Joseph LaShelle&#8217;s cinematography, create a seamy yet emotion-drenched world where unlikely couplings can take place, and power dynamics can eventually be disrupted. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Jack Lemmon as C.C.
