Unlock the door to Billy Wilder's THE APARTMENT and discover a heartwarming, hilarious and melancholy tale of life on the corporate ladder. This critically acclaimed masterpiece captured five Academy Awards, including Best Picture. As the beleaguered C. C. Baxter, Jack Lemmon turns in perhaps his most memorable performance in a role created just for him. The "key" to success for Baxter is the key to his bachelor flat. Baxter uses the key to open the door to career advancement--the executives use it to open the door to their extra-marital affairs. Fred Mac Murray plays J. D. Sheldrake, a philandering cad-of-all-cads who takes naive elevator girl Fran Kubelik up and down a romantic roller coaster. Played with exquisite vulnerability by Shirley MacLaine, the pixieish Fran is so in love with Sheldrake (or so she thinks), that she fails to notice the man who really loves her--Baxter. So enter THE APARTMENT--and exit laughing...and with a tear in your eye.
