106 Apartment, The (1960)

- To create the impression of a very large bureau in the scenes where Baxter is
behind his desk, director 'Billy Wilder' (qv) used dwarf actors and specially
designed furniture.
- Wilder directed 'Marilyn Monroe' (qv) in "The Seven Year Itch (1955)" (qv)
and "Some Like It Hot (1959)" (qv). He grew to despise her demands for
star treatment and her poor work ethic, and thus included the party-girl
Monroe-esque character in this film.
