i just watched 90% of the billy wilder classic film 'the apartment' on friday night. it may sound corny, but its truly a movie that's got it all. it manages to be serious, hilarious, risque, realistic, raw, ribald, romantic, and even sociologically relevant, all at the same time. it won best picture that year. shirley maclaine is just perfect in the role of fran kubelik. (i have no idea if i spelled that right; screenplay-wise) and jack lemmon is like, multifaceted perfection. it had been so long since the last time i'd seen it, that i had forgotten a lot about the way it ends. its very close to being a faultless film.
