Description

Winner of five 1960 Academy Awards including Best Picture, The Apartment is legendary writer/director Billy Wilder at his scathing, satirical best, and one of "the finest comedies Hollywood has turned out" (Newsweek). C.C. "Bud" Baxter (Jack Lemmon) knows the way to success in business...it's through the door of his apartment! By providing a perfect hideaway for philandering bosses, he reaps a series of undeserved promotions. But when Bud lends the key to big boss J.D. Sheldrake (Fred MacMurray), he not only advances his career, but his own love life as well. For Sheldrake's mistress is the lovely Fran Kubelik (Shirley MacLaine), the elevator girl of Bud's dreams. Convinced that he is the only man for Fran, Bud must make the most important executive decision of his career: lose the girl...or his job.

    The late great B Wilder at his best. Classic Lemon paired a bewildering supporting cast. Shirley M is perfect in pitch and mood. Referenced in Mad Men it won best picture and will mend and break your heart equally
  • Amazing!!

    My dad got me into this film and it's one of the best films that you can have in your collection. CC Baxter and Miss Kuberlik and just two of the most endearing characters that you will ever want to meet. It's a love story and comedy and it will have you saying ahhhh! at the end of it an make you want to go back for more. Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine at their finest!
