The Apartment


I watched this movie The Apartment last night and I really liked it! the cast was great:Jack Lemmon, Shirley McLain, Fred McMurray, Ray Walston, David Lewis, Hole Hopiday, David White, and Edie Adams! I especially liked the last scene where Jack Lemmon and Shirley McLain play cards on New Years Eve! I highly recommend this movie!!!

It has a seemingly-effortless blend of comedy and drama. It gets both really funny and really tragic at times, and I loved and admired that about the film. It's a great film to show off Billy Wilder's talents, and Jack Lemmon's (and Shirley McLain's!) The mirror thing. That was such a great moment - terrible though it was.

Fred McMurray’s daughter was saying on TCM that a woman came up to her dad one day and slapped him because she took her kid to see The Apartment and was expecting a Disney movie.

Yeah, it's not really a children's film, though I that's something I didn't realize until I was a lot older.

Ouch. Poor Fred.

In the trivia section of IMDB there's a mention that MacMurray had such a negative backlash from fans over his role that he didn't play such a character again.

Pity - he.made a really good heel.
