Good to know
These are standalone studio stories with no shared continuity, so there is no chronological order to untangle. Release order shows the émigré bite move from noir to comedy with Diamond writing and Lemmon Matthau. Apartment is the hinge Oscar winner to watch mid run for desks. Buddy Buddy in 1981 is the final feature with no upcoming.
