Watch The Apartment Movie Online Streaming Free in HDWidely regarded as a comedy in 1960, The Apartment seems more melancholy with each passing year. Jack Lemmon plays C.C. Baxter, a go-getting office worker who loans his tiny apartment to his philandering superiors for their romantic trysts. He runs into trouble when he finds himself sharing a girlfriend (Shirley MacLaine) with his callous boss (Fred MacMurray). Director/co-writer Billy Wilder claimed that the idea for The Apartment stemmed from a short scene in the 1945 romantic drama Brief Encounter in which the illicit lovers (Trevor Howard and Celia Johnson) arrange a rendezvous in a third person's apartment. Wilder was intrigued about what sort of person would willingly vacate his residence to allow virtual strangers a playing field for hanky panky. His answer to that question wound up winning 6 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay. The Apartment was adapted by Neil Simon and Burt Bacharach into the 1969 Broadway musical Promises, Promises. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi.

Review For The Apartment | |
| A comedy of men's-room humours and water-cooler politics that now and then among the belly laughs says something serious and sad about the struggle for success, about what it often does to a man, and about the horribly small world of big business. -TIME Magazine With tremendous performances by the two leads (Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine), this is yet another "must see" title to be found on Wilder's resume. James Berardinelli-ReelViews Most of the time, it's up to director Wilder to sustain a two-hour-plus film on treatment alone, a feat he manages to accomplish more often than not, and sometimes the results are amazing. Variety Staff-Variety 'The Apartment': The Film That Defines Me Joe Baltake-Passionate Moviegoer I wouldn't call this 1960 picture one of Billy Wilder's best comedies -- it's drab, sappy, and overlong at 125 minutes. Jonathan Rosenbaum-Chicago Reader Elevates the workplace romance into a sublime erotics of officious addresses (the omnipresent Mister and Miss) and economic conundrum. Ed Park-Village Voice {VIDEO ESSAY} Billy Wilder's classic Manhattan-based romantic comedy comes with a sly critique regarding 50's era corporate culture of rampant misogyny and unbridled ambition. Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com When assessing his own work Billy Wilder described The Apartment as being the film with the fewest mistakes. And he is right: it is as near to perfect as is possible. Paul Huckerby-Electric Sheep Beautifully written and directed by the great Billy Wilder, bittersweet and heartfelt, this is sheer delight. Allan Hunter-Daily Express Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine shine as two essentially good souls trapped in a tangle of office politics. Robbie Collin-Daily Telegraph Wilder has made some truly great movies, but this one is not the masterpiece we thought it was. Matthew Thrift-Little White Lies Even over a half-century on, The Apartment remains a biting classic due to its modern romantic sensibilities and Lemmon's commanding, thoroughly charming central performance. Shaun Munro-What Culture This really is a film of ever increasing returns. Miles Fielder-The List No one does the pitchblack flipside of funny like Wilder, and 1960's The Apartment is the darkest he ever made. Kate Stables-Total Film This Oscar-winning Best Picture still has the power and appeal that won audiences over back in 1960. James Plath-Movie Metropolis The cast brings the film together, showing Lemmon and MacLaine as more than just comedic performers, but also as those who can hold their own with heavier script elements. Kevin Carr-7M Pictures A perfect mix of comedy, drama, and romance, The Apartment showcases writer/director Billy Wilder at the peak of his creative talent. Matthew Pejkovic-Matt's Movie Reviews A screen gem that attained classic status in about as much time as it takes to comb one's hair. Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing Vintage comedy about sex in the city feels dated. Charles Cassady-Common Sense Media [Lemmon's character is] a whingeing, self-pitying figure who, like other Wilder practitioners, cannot recognise the extent of his turpitude, and this is both the strength and weakness of a remarkable movie. Philip French-Observer [UK] Not to be missed on any account. Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK] A true classic. It's about advancement, ambition, corruption and adultery, and it operates as both a satire and a sorrowful romance. Daniel Etherington-Film4 | |
