From 1960 to 1972, he starred in My Three Sons, a long-running, highly rated TV series. MacMurray's career continued upward the following year, when he was cast as the father in the Disney film The Shaggy Dog. In 1958, he guest-starred in the premiere episode of NBC's Cimarron City Western series, with George Montgomery and John Smith. Six years later, MacMurray played Jeff Sheldrake, a two-timing corporate executive in Wilder's Oscar-winning film The Apartment. In another turn in the "not so nice" category, MacMurray played the cynical, duplicitous Lieutenant Thomas Keefer in Dmytryk's film The Caine Mutiny.
Perhaps his best known "bad guy" performance was that of Walter Neff, an insurance salesman who plots with a greedy wife to kill her husband in the film noir classic Double Indemnity.
Despite being typecast as a "nice guy", MacMurray often said his best roles were when he was cast against type, such as under the direction of Billy Wilder and Edward Dmytryk. In 1943, his annual salary had reached $420,000, making him the highest-paid actor in Hollywood and the fourth-highest-paid person in the nation. Usually cast in light comedies as a decent, thoughtful character ( The Trail of the Lonesome Pine, and in melodramas and musicals, MacMurray became one of the film industry's highest-paid actors of the period. He co-starred with Katharine Hepburn in Alice Adams, with Joan Crawford in Above Suspicion, and with Carole Lombard in four productions: Hands Across the Table, The Princess Comes Across, Swing High, Swing Low and True Confession. In the 1930s, MacMurray worked with film directors Billy Wilder and Preston Sturges, and actors Barbara Stanwyck, Henry Fonda, Humphrey Bogart, Marlene Dietrich, and in seven films, Claudette Colbert, beginning with The Gilded Lily. In his early career, MacMurray played clarinet and tenor sax with the Gus Arnheim Orchestra (1930–31). Before signing with Paramount Pictures in 1934, he appeared on Broadway in Three's a Crowd (1930–31) and alongside Sydney Greenstreet and Bob Hope in Roberta (1933–34). With Carole Lombard in Swing High, Swing Low (1937)Ī featured vocalist, MacMurray recorded with the Gus Arnheim Orchestra on "All I Want Is Just One Girl" on the Victor label in 1930, and with George Olsen on "I'm In The Market For You" and "After a Million Dreams". According to the manager Tsvetomir Gergov, 12,000 people visit the store per day. The rent levels are one of the highest in Bulgaria, only competing with the neighbouring Vitosha Boulevard. Plovdiv businessman Georgi Gergov acquired TZUM on 19 October 2004.Īs of 2005, world brands like Laura Ashley, Timberland, Nautica, Fila, Fred Perry, Adidas, Mexx, Tommy Hilfiger, Swarovski, Miss Sixty, Nike, Bagatt, Altınbaş and Rossignol have stores in TZUM.
TZUM was transformed to become a place for expensive boutiques rather than a store for the people, with the daily number of customers falling to 7,000. Regent then invested $10.2 million in 1999–2000 to redevelop the property into a mixed-use office and retail building. After the democratic changes in 1989, the store remained public property until sold to Hong Kong fund manager, Regent Pacific Group, for the price of DM 30 million (about €15 million). Two years later, 120,000 people daily went through the store, which sold 123,000 items a day. TZUM underwent major reconstruction in 1986 under the direction of architect Atanas Nikolov. It features a covered inner yard taking up the centre of five of the building's seven floors. The edifice was designed by architect Kosta Nikolov and has an area of 20,570 m². It was officially opened with a ceremony in 1957. The store's construction began in 1955 and ended in the end of 1956, when the first customers entered TZUM. The Central Department Store ( Bulgarian: Централен универсален магазин, Tsentralen universalen magazin, abbreviated as TZUM) is an upmarket department store in the centre of Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, officially opened in 1957 and situated in a monumental edifice (part of The Largo complex) on one of the city's main boulevards.
