Hello everyone !
I'm looking for the title of an american movie.
It's a comedy from the 60s or 70s.
The main character is a mother.
This is the only sequence which I perfectly remember:
She enters her building
call the elevator. Men come out. They move furniture and she helps them out all the furniture.
Then she takes the elevator up to her floor.
There she realizes she has been
burgled and she helped thieves
out its own affairs.
It is perhaps with Doris Day or an actress
of the same generation and the same mold.
That's it for me.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Sorry for my English,
I am french !
If no one answers I recommend asking over at imdb.com in the community section. There is an I need to Know subforum to ask about older shows/movies,etc.
Was it in color, black-and-white? Can you describe the woman, what she looked like, color of hair, how tall, her style of clothing, would it be '50s or '60s, if you can recall?
I had already had a look at wikipedia comedy films list
but I founded nothing.
I'll check Doris Day films list.
The movie was in color. She was a typicall american mother, 30 - 40 years old.
Hair style ? I can't remember. The atmosphere of the comedy, and the look of the building
is around 1965 - 1975.
Hello. That's it ! I found it for myself by reading titles and film summaries. It's "The Prisoner of Second Avenue" (1975) by Melvin Frank, with Jack Lemmon and Anne Bancroft. She's not a mother, but a housewife...

The story revolves around the escalating problems of a middle-aged couple living on Second Avenue on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York City. Mel Edison, the main character, has just lost his job after many years and now has to cope with being unemployed at middle age during an economic recession. The action occurs during an intense summer heat wave and a prolonged garbage strike, which exacerbates Edison's plight as he and his wife Edna deal with noisy neighbors, loud sounds emanating from Manhattan streets up to their apartment, and even a broad-daylight burglary of their apartment. Mel eventually suffers a nervous breakdown and it is up to the loving care of his brother Harry, his sisters, and Edna to restore him to a firm reality.
