Description
In 1960, following on from the success of their collaboration on "Some Like it Hot," director Billy Wilder ("The Fortune Cookie") reteamed with Jack Lemmon ("Avanti!") for what many consider the pinnacle of their respective careers: "The Apartment." C.C. ''Bud'' Baxter (Lemmon) is a lowly office drone with a lucrative sideline in renting out his apartment to adulterous company bosses and their mistresses. When Bud enters into a similar arrangement with the firm's personnel director, J.D. Sheldrake (Fred MacMurray, "Double Indemnity"), his career prospects begin to look up. But when he discovers that Sheldrake's mistress is Fran Kubelik (Shirley MacLaine, "Irma la Douce"), the girl of his dreams, he finds himself forced to choose between his career and the woman he loves... Winner of five Academy Awards®, including Best Picture, "The Apartment" is, by turns, cynical, heart-warming and hilarious. A Wilder masterpiece that shines!
