Film Description

Songs of Innocence and Experience replayed as a strip-lit corporate nightmare, The Apartment charts C. C. Baxter's rise from timid clerk to team player and descent from mensch to monster in exchange for lending his apartment for his boss's cinq-a-septs. Meanwhile, Maclaine simpers in the emotional crossfire. A dingy masterpiece.

Review by richard Armstrong on 6th October 2000

Due for an unveiling at this year's London Film Festival, The Apartment is Billy Wilder's last great film. Bud Baxter is on his way up. A Junior Executive bowler, an office on the 27th Floor, the key to the Executive Washroom...all for the price of a hard day's work, his conscience, and the key to his apartment. Fran Kubelik is the elevator girl he adores. Always ready with a smile...then he finds her in a coma on his bed, and begins to wake up... Telling of a few weeks amidst the cut-and-thrust of corporate Manhattan, Wilder's darkest of comedies gave notice of an ominous postmodern morality.

Article - "'Tis the Season to be Jolly: Films and Alcohol" by Mark Goodall
Sunday 30th December 2007

Christmas and New Year: the season to be jolly. And how is such jollity normally achieved? Why through drinking of course. Virtually all spiritual festive activities arrive accompanied by spirits…mostly liquid ones. The cinema is no stranger to the delights of the bo...  View article in full

The Top 10 Sexiest Performances in Film by MovieMail

The steamy summer has set us thinking about sex, and in particular those performances with a certain indefinable yes! factor. As you'll see, we haven't always gone for the obvious choices. You are of course at liberty to disagree with us. On the right you'll find a poll where you can vote on our choices, to suggest some of your own, simply add a comment! Does it need saying that all of these films come highly – as well as personally – recommended.
