THE APARTMENT (1960)
Special Features: 65th Anniversary | New 4K Restoration
Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine, in career-making performances, lead an outstanding cast in one of the screen’s most poignant comedies, a workplace romance of uncommon sophistication. Motivated by vague promises of promotion, lowly insurance clerk C. C. Baxter (Lemmon) lets his bosses use his apartment for their late-night assignations. When he falls for elevator operator Fran Kubelik (MacLaine), the ex(-ish)-girlfriend of his boss Sheldrake (Fred MacMurray), the moral dilemmas begin to mount. The film netted 10 Oscar® nominations and five wins, including Best Picture, Director and Screenplay for writer/director/producer Billy Wilder. DIR/SCR/PROD Billy Wilder; SCR I. A. L. Diamond.
