The
Jack Lemmon and Billy Wilder team up again for brilliance. I don’t like The Apartment quite as much as I do Some Like it Hot but it still is one of the greatest films of all time.
It is very clever, sweet and funny, and has fantastic performances by both Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine. The supporting cast all does good as well. Along with the great acting, The Apartment has outstanding writing and directing by legend Billy Wilder. As I said it isn’t my favorite Billy Wilder film but it is one of the best, which automatically means its one of the best films ever made. Billy Wilder is a genius.
I first heard of the film while watching the films from the American Film Institute’s 100 greatest films of all time. Since then I have suggested it to many people and watched it a few more times. It’s a great way to get into classic films and a great way to stay into classic films.
It’s a great and original story, a great mix of comedy and drama. Sometimes sad, sometimes hilarious, but always amazing. I suggest this film to everyone. I think if you give it a chance there is almost no way you wont like it. The Apartment is one more film that proves Billy Wilder is one of the best directors in history.
10/10
