A classic

Since it is a huge classic, I was really eager to check it out and I had some rather huge expectations. Indeed, it is supposed to be one of the greatest comedies ever made but, to be honest, even though I thought it was quite enjoyable and entertaining, I can’t say I wasn't really blown away by the whole thing. I mean, sure, it was pretty good, and I enjoyed it but I wasn't really laughing out l... read more

For a dated romantic comedy this film is still immensely impressive in terms of innovative ideas, classic sto... read more

'The Apartment' stars Jack Lemmon as C.C. Baxter, an office clerk who curries favor with the executives in his office by giving them the key to his small apartment for the odd afternoon dalliance. Among them his is his callous boss, J.D. Sheldrake, who Baxter eventually learns is using his place to sleep with Miss Kubelik (Shirley MacLaine), the sweet elevator operator the clerk has loved from afar. When Sheldrake coldly dumps the vulnerable young woman, she tries to commit suicide, but is saved by the intervention of Baxter.

This is Cinema (92 movies items)"Creo que es claro la crítica que se hace al sistema nepotista en donde básicamente sos un asistente mal pagado de unos ratas que se aprovechan de vos. La individualidad se pierde y la voluntad también, hasta que conoce a una mujer que le da un nuevo propósito a su existencia. Si bien no me gusta que toda la película sea la construcción a algo y nunca vemos los resultados, debo decir que me encanta la manera en como este enredo va llevándose a cabo a través de la mentira. Es como si dijer"
