The Apartment (1960)

Man, the rents in the city were far more manageable back then! Not that Jack Lemmon, budding internet 'Nice Guy' ever got to stay in his own place, what with his adult-oriented AirBnB operation. If you liked Mad Men but wish it had less social commentary, with weaker female characters and no real subtlety to its message, then congratulations - how did you find us? The Apartment is a classic, for sure, but like many of the films from previous eras, there is a lot to be taken aback by. Enjoyable? Maybe. Is Jack Lemmon great? Yes. One cannot escape this 'Trump Grime' that coats the entire film in a slimy film of social ick. Want to drop us a line? Write an email to [email protected].
