Billy Wilder’s timeless romantic dramedy The Apartment returns to the big screen with a new 4K restoration as we celebrate what would have been Jack Lemmon’s 100th birthday.
Bud Baxter is a minor clerk in a huge New York insurance company, until he discovers a quick way to climb the corporate ladder. He lends out his apartment to the executives as a place to take their mistresses. Although he often has to deal with the aftermath of their visits, one night he’s left with a major problem to solve.
Winner of five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, The Apartment remains one of the great Hollywood stories about the courage to choose kindness in an unkind world. It’s the perfect aperetif to our Holiday Season programming.
