The Apartment

17 February: 6.45pm & 9pm; 19 Feb: 9pm; 21 Feb: 6.45pm; 27 Feb: 4pm

Director: Billy Wilder Starring: Jack Lemmon; Shirley MacLaine; Fred MacMurray Certificate:  TBA  Duration: 125 minutes     The Apartment is a 1960 American comedy-drama. It was Wilder's follow up to the enormously popular Some Like It Hot. The film was nominated for ten Academy Awards, and won five, including Best Picture. C. C. Baxter (Jack Lemmon) is a lonely office drone for an insurance company in New York City. Four different company managers take turns commandeering Baxter's apartment, which is located on West 67th Street on the Upper West Side, for their various extramarital liaisons. Unhappy with the situation, but unwilling to challenge them directly, he juggles their conflicting demands while hoping to catch the eye of fetching elevator operator Miss Fran Kubelik (Shirley MacLaine). Meanwhile the neighbors in the apartment building, a medical doctor and his wife, assume Baxter is a "good time Charlie" who brings different drunken women every night. Baxter accepts their criticism rather than reveal the truth.
