As of November 1, 1959, mild mannered C.C. Baxter has been working at Consolidated Life, an insurance company, for close to four years, and is one of close to thirty-two thousand employees located in their Manhattan head office. To distinguish himself from all the other lowly cogs in the company in the hopes of moving up the corporate ladder, he often works late, but only because he can't get into his apartment, located off of Central Park West, since he has provided it to a handful of company executives - Mssrs. Dobisch, Kirkeby, Vanderhoff and Eichelberger - on a rotating basis for their extramarital liaisons in return for a good word to the personnel director, Jeff D. Sheldrake. When Baxter is called into Sheldrake's office for the first time, he learns that it isn't just to be promoted as he expects, but also to add married Sheldrake to the list to who he will lend his apartment. Dobisch, Kirkeby, Vanderhoff and Eichelberger are now feeling neglected as Baxter no longer needs their assistance in moving up.
Leave your thoughts about The Apartment.
| EmpireSimon BraudDelightful comedy romance with a clutch of note-perfect performances. |
| New York TimesBosley CrowtherMr. Wilder has done more than write the film. His direction is ingenious and sure, sparkled by brilliant little touches and kept to a tight, sardonic line. |
| eFilmCritic.comDavid CorneliusIt's one of the most heartbreaking films I've ever seen. |
| Arizona Daily StarPhil VillarrealHumanism and cleverness age like fine wine, even if served with spaghetti strained with a tennis racket. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonA screen gem that attained classic status in about as much time as it takes to comb one's hair. |
| The ListMiles FielderThis really is a film of ever increasing returns. |
| Zap2it.comMichael SzymanskiAmong the funniest films ever to win a Best Picture, this was also risque for its time (and perhaps it is today to some). |
| Village VoiceEd ParkElevates the workplace romance into a sublime erotics of officious addresses (the omnipresent Mister and Miss) and economic conundrum. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Robbie CollinWilder’s intoxicating script, co-written with IAL Diamond, flows like finest brandy, and Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine shine as two essentially good souls trapped in a tangle of office politics. |
| Electric SheepPaul HuckerbyWhen assessing his own work Billy Wilder described The Apartment as being the film with the fewest mistakes. And he is right: it is as near to perfect as is possible. |
