The Apartment is a 1960 romantic comedy based on the premise that corporate advancement can be enhanced by loaning your convenient apartment to fellow workers with a more intimate interpretation of the term 'social climbing'. The consequences can be tragic or hilarious, and this movie clearly chooses the latter direction. The three top characters, played by Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine, and Fred MacMurray show great skill in pulling this off.
