Storyline
Sam Bissel is a wholesome family man with a loving wife, Min, and two loving daughters. They lead a happy suburban life. The only part of Sam's life that he is not happy about is his job as a lowly cog in the art department of the advertising firm of Burke & Hare. Sam's professional life takes a major turn when he is made executive of the Nurdlinger Dairy account. Simon Nurdlinger is a wholesome family man who wants a wholesome family man with wholesome family ideals heading his account, Sam the only one in Burke & Hare that fits the bill. Sam's home life also takes a major turn when Min's college friend, Janet Lagerlof, moves in next door. Janet stands to inherit $15 million from her grandfather's estate, but the will has a clause that she must be happily married to inherit the money. Janet is technically divorced from Howard Ebbets, and states that getting back with Howard is not worth $15 million... Written by Huggo

Trivia
According to Robert Osborne on TCM, this was a film that Jack Lemmon didn't really want to do, but he fulfilled a contract with the studio. And like the previous year's "Under the Yum Yum Tree", this stupefied Lemmon that they were both very successful films. See more »Goofs
Continuity: When Jen is unpacking her moving van box, she is surprised by her greedy cousins, and drops a large ashtray on the coffee table. A split second later, the ashtray has disappeared and has been replaced by a huge wad of packing paper. See more »Quotes
