The Apartment
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.

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. View more reviews by richard Armstrong
