Review of The Apartment (1960) by Conner R — 24 Jul 2010
One of the all time greatest romance stories of all time, it's one of the classiest and respected as well. While this might fall under the category of satire for some, I really don't see that at all.
This doesn't seek out to make fun of who we are as people, it just shows how ironic life can be. Jack Lemmon is priceless as the ultimate nice guy, even going as far as to ruining his own reputation for the benefit of others.
Shirley MacLaine obviously fits into the adorable yet clueless elevator girl who's clearly in love with the wrong man. Now for me, what makes this one of the most interesting movies of its kind is the way it is filmed and treated.
Billy Wilder makes this look like a world class drama and important movie. It doesn't sell out for cheap laughs or short cuts. The story shows the true testament of what a man will do to be with the girl he loves and not take any flack from anyone.
