The first example that came to mind after listening to your "Tips for Writing Heros/Heroines" was Billy Wilder's film, "The Apartment." The hero (?) is C. C. Baxter (Jack Lemmon), a clerk in the premium accounting department of a really big insurance company (This is sometime before the digital revolution.) Baxter takes night courses to move up. He also makes his bachelor apartment near Central Park available to married executives in positions where they might do him some good. So he starts out as a hard working cynic who justifies himself because he didn't make these men philanderers and it's possible their wives are glad to have them out of the house one night a week. And their women seem to be as cynical as they are or really dumb. So long as there's no scandal everybody wins. This arrangement is tough on Baxter as he has to explain the loud noises coming from his apartment late at night to his neighbors and his landlady, keep his pantry stocked with booze and food and occasionally has to sit out on a park bench very late at night waiting for whichever executive has his apartment to finish up and go home. He thinks he's hit the jackpot when the VP of Personnel approaches Baxter, word having gotten around on the office grapevine. The VP is powerful enough to raise Baxter higher to a position that would have taken him years to reach. The VP is also big enough to quash the other members of the club if they start complaining about lack of access to the apartment. With the rise of Baxter's fortunes he believes he is ready to begin his pursuit of elevator operator Fran Kubelik (Shirley McClaine). The crisis is reached when Baxter learns that Fran is in love with the VP, who promoted Baxter to get exclusive rights to the apartment. Fran isn't a cynic, she is a romantic and love to her is compensation for the boredom of her life. In the film then, Baxter begins his journey from a jerk to a "Mensch." "A human being," He makes the break with the VP.. I'll leave the resolution to those interested enough to find the DVD.
