Details

Based on the screenplay The Apartment by Billy Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond. The story follows the tormented love affair of Chuck, a clerk, who achieves promotion by renting his room to his bosses for their extra-marital affairs. In the course of his career rise, Chuck learns that one of these 'temporary tenants' is having an affair with Fran, the girl he loves. Amongst the score's many delightful songs was 'I'll Never Fall in Love Again', which became a hit for Dionne Warwick in the US, and was a UK number one for Bobby Gentry.
