Billy Wilder's finest , Jack Lemmon was never better and Shirley Maclaine never more beguiling. Saw this when i was 14 and fell in love with it , watch it every year between xmas and new year .Probably no definitely my fave film of all time.

My three favorite moments... Lemmon's laugh when he mentions Marilyn Monroe, ( he'd starred with her in " Some like it Hot, ) the broken mirror revelation and the last line of the film. MacMurray was deliciously disgusting. Jack and Shirley were tailor-made for their roles. A near perfect picture!

Actually $85. It's in the opening sequence -- he says it was $80 until his landlady put in an air conditioner. Even back then, I think that would have been a pretty attractive rent for a decent 1-bedroom in the West 60s.

This is the movie that completely opened my eyes to film. Up until then I wasn’t as captivated by the artistic nature of film but The Apartment changed that. I always see something new when I watch it and it’s always exciting to watch; it’s just perfect to me. The writing, the directing, acting, just everything..

I wouldn't say it is the best.But 1960 was a great year for film. Apartment is up there alongside Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, Bergman's Virgin Spring, Stanley Kubrick's Spartacus, Vittorio De Sica's La Ciociara, Antonioni's L'Avventura, Godard's Breathless, Macario.

Riiight! Same thing I thought, usually the critics’ picks are more about its meaning and not so much it’s entire plot in detail. Drains the beauty of watching the plot naturally unravel before you for the first time to anyone who clicked on the video hoping to be convinced on watching it or not.

MacMurray's first 'rotten role' was really in Alice Adams where they incongruously changed the ending and he went back to Katherine Hepburn. Double Indemnity was far more likeable but again, he was rotten at the core and then Caine Mutiny and this all some of his finest moments. He loved being nice and working for Disney etc. but as much as he complained it was these kind of roles that made him respected as an ACTOR.

It's worth comparing with Breakfast at Tiffany's, made just a year apart. Both based in New York, both featuring a male protagonist hopelessly in love with a young woman who is exploited by powerful men. Both look on as the see the target of their affection apparently on some self destructive path on to what we all know will end in disaster and disillusion. Both end up with the young women realising with whom their true future will be albeit the Lemmon character seems to be happy just having reached his own salvation, and is even popping champagne. Not so with George Peppard's character, who did not even take solace in the selling of his stories. Of the two, I think The Apartment stands up better. Jack Lemmon's character makes his own moral journey, as he too is compromised by the exercise of power and initially bows to that for a few steps up the slippery ladder of being a very junior executive before discovering his moral compass. In Breakfast at Tiffany's, George Peppard's character is not being chewed up by the system in the same way. He's more aspirational and not a hopelessly so. Ultimately, a thinner character than Lemmon's. Oh, and The Apartment doesn't have Mickey Rooney as a cringe-making Japanese character... It's interesting to imagine what might have happened if the casting had been swapped around. I doubt Peppard would have been convincing in the Apartment, although I can see that Hepburn could have played the naive and betrayed escalator girl. Shirley MacLain would, I think, also have been able to play Holly Golightly, albeit not one with quite the style of Audrey Hepburn (but then who could). Jack Lemmon as an aspiring writer? Well, maybe, but nothing like as well as he could the man owing his soul to the company store as he did in the Apartment.

Also, both male protagonists are being exploited themselves, in the Apartment it's the higher ups, in Breakfast it's the affair. Also, both films end with the protagonists unemployed but in love with each other. I don't think though that Audrey Hepburn would have worked as Fran, I feel her acting, although good, is at times exaggerated and unnatural, which would not have suited The Apartment.

Fred MacMurray spent his life portraying nice guys, but, ironically, is now best remembered for the two roles when he didn't. Casting him against type, Billy Wilder put MacMurray into "Double Indemnity" and "The Apartment." Clearly, Wilder saw something others did not. And MacMurray gets credit for taking a few career risks.

J’ai appris que Fred MacMurray n’était pas l’acteur auquel Billy Wilder avait pensé tout d’abord ; ce devait être Paul Douglas qui est malheureusement décédé. Peut-être est ce mieux pour moi de ne pas avoir vu cet acteur que j’aime énormément dans le rôle d’un vilain ? J’aime aussi MacMurray qui a beaucoup tourné avec Claudette Colbert.
