The Apartment

[Aerie]

The Apartment is a 1960 American comedy-drama film produced and directed by Billy Wilder, and starring Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine, and Fred MacMurray. It was Wilder's follow up to the enormously popular Some Like It Hot and was an equal commercial and critical hit, grossing $25 million at the box office. The film was nominated for ten Academy Awards, and won five, including Best Picture.

It was later adapted by Neil Simon, Burt Bacharach and Hal David into the Broadway musical Promises, Promises.

The Apartment is my third favourite movie of all time. In two ways, I can personally identify with CC Baxter (Jack Lemmon) - I work in a busy office and understand and relate to the strain of too much typing (!) and the fact I find it hard to say no to people as well. Not that I lend my house out to my boss (lmao), but just in general about anything to anybody. Mind you, I do like to do overtime to help out my colleagues so it's always a pleasure in the end!
