"Well… that’s the way it crumbles, cookie-wise." Shirley MacLaine is beautiful/stunning in this movie. I am mesmerized by her. I like Jack Lemmon. A genius with the banter. Odd that Fred MacMurray is an evil guy to me, as I watched My Three Sons as a kid in the late 60s/early 70s.

For me, this is more of a black rom-com, as there is a hefty dose of sadness, exploitation, etc. It’s good but it’s not a lighthearted romp in the least!

I got tricked into watching this movie years ago thinking it was a comedy , all the actors including the beautiful Shirly McClain were comedic actors with years of family friendly movies .

Attitudes about gender roles were somewhat different at the time this was made and the movie reflects that. Viewed in the context of its time it was probably very progressive. For what it’s worth, according to IMDB it was nominated for 10 Oscars in 1961 and won 5 including best screenplay, best director, and best picture.

Cheating Castle.....I adore you Cassie. Only you would come up with this.

Fred MacMurray, who played Mr. Sheldrake, said that after this movie came out he would be stopped in the street by older women who would yell at him for making a "dirty movie" and for being such a jerk in it. After one lady hit him with her purse he decided he'd only play nice guys in the future, and spent the next 12 years as one of the most famous nice guy sitcom dads on MY THREE SONS.

I signed to Patreon with the specific mission to get the Apartment watched one day and I'm so happy to see it's already been done. This is one of my favorites films ever, it's one that I make it a point to watch every year at least once in the between Christmas and New Years downtime. Billy Wilder is one of my favorite directors ever. It rare to find a writer/director who can balance humor with tangible human pathos as it is in the Apartment. A couple of my other favorites of his that haven't been mentioned in the comments yet are Ace in the Hole and Double Indemnity as well as Irma La Douce which is a fun reteaming of Lemmon and MacLaine.

Finally got around to watching this one. First time for me and I’m going to be honest, I did not like it. Sorry if that offends anyone with this in their favorites category. I started off liking Mr. Baxter, but then the lack of backbone and self-promotion made me dislike him. His covering for Sheldrake after such a dangerous event made me want Fran to find someone else in another town. It’s a rom-com that quickly lacked comedy and romance. I think Baxter is a rebound boyfriend in the end.

I would definitely not call this a romcom. (As for the original romcom? That would have to be It Happened One Night, back in 1934.)

A very good or great film with a few flaws. One is that I think Wilder over did it a little in the Christmas party scene. I also think it is quite a funny movie. One of the small jokes I think Cassie missed is when Baxter's potential lover with the jockey husband tells him he needs a new fridge as he is starting to run out to get Dr. Dreyfuss and then says something like "I didn't mean right now!"

A few other comments here mentioned MacMurray's playing the ultimate good guy tv father soon after his role as a heel in The Apartment. However, it should also be noted that his other two most famous movie roles had him playing bad or very flawed men. One in Wilder's Double Indemnity; the other in...I won't say because the character's true nature isn't revealed until later in the film.

Doc Savage

First time watching this. Soooooo good. . once again; got the feels. Thanks Mike!!!

I love this one! I would like to make a correction to a comment, Hollywood has been making romcoms since the silent movie era. There's lots of great ones for you to check out. Ninotchka (not silent) is a real good one.
