The boss borrows his apartmwnt for a love tryst,
By
This review is from: Apartment (VHS Tape)
Cast: Jack Lemmon ... Calvin Clifford 'C.C.' 'Bud' Baxter C.C. 'Buddy Boy' Baxter (Jack Lemmon) has a downwtown apartment near his work where he is an insurance analyst in a large firm. He is ambitious to work is way up the ladder, and so loans his apartment out to various of his supperiors for their trysts in an effort to win their favors, which means that he is forced ro work overtime and stay out late while his apartment os occupied. Fran Kubelik (Shirley McLaine), elevator girl, is in love with big boss and branch manager Jeff D. Sheldrake (Fred MacMurray), who is a married, cheating philanderer with a long history of conquests among the female staff. C.C. Baxter is also in love with Fran, who is having an affair with Sheldrake in his apartment. This is not really a comedy, although it has its funny moments. It is a good story which comes out all right in the end. Joseph (Joe) Pierre

The black and white comedies of 50's and 60's became quite famous for the screen plays, filming and acting. And this one is above of many of them.

They Should All be Like This,
By
This review is from: The Apartment (Widescreen) (DVD)
Wouldn't it be great if all movies were this good? This funny? This wise? This clever? This heartfelt? This true? My favorite Jack Lemmon movie. He plays a perfect schmuck who discovers himself. My favorite Shirley MacLaine movie. She plays a sweet but wounded modern girl who wises up. My favorite Billy Wilder movie. A perfect ear for dialogue and eye for mannerisms in his adopted country. Fred McMurray turns in a perfect performance as a shameless cad. No reason not to own this on dvd.
