Good Neighbor Sam (1964)
A delightful Lemmon performance in the story of an advertising executive who good-naturedly agrees to pose as the husband of his attractive neighbor (Schneider) so that she can inherit a fortune. When his biggest client also falls for the ruse, the bogus couple find themselves the centerpiece of a new campaign.

"Good Neighbor Sam" bombed big time when it was released in 1964. At the time I thought, "What a shame. This is Jack Lemmon's best comedic acting in years, and this is a pleasant movie."
If you're looking for laughs served up by experts, "Good Neighbor Sam" is just the ticket. Misadventure ensues when the business world and mixed-up home life of a hapless chap collide.
Special note should be taken of Frank DeVol's music (the recurring theme is a classic).
It's nice to see Mike Connors in a pre-Mannix role, and you can never get enough of Louis Nye. Edward G Robinson does a good job of playing the wealthy dairyman, Mr Nurdlinger. Plus his participation gives the whole production a needed bit of weight. This is the kind of movie they're talking about when they say - "they don't make 'em like that anymore." And I say, it's our loss.
Not a GREAT movie, but if you enjoy Jack Lemmon versus the world type comedies, you'll enjoy this one too.....
