C.C. Baxter is an ambitious office clerk who courts favour with the executives in his office by giving them the key to his small New York City apartment for their extramarital flings.
Among them is his callous boss, J.D. Sheldrake, who Baxter eventually learns is using his place to court Miss Fran Kubelik, the sweet elevator operator Baxter has loved from afar. When Sheldrake coldly dumps the vulnerable young woman, Baxter steps in to save the woman of his dreams – even if it means losing his job.
Winner of five Oscars – including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay – The Apartment shows legendary filmmaker Billy Wilder at his best, expertly walking the tight-rope between sweetly-observed romance and razor-sharp social satire.
To celebrate the centenary of screen icon Jack Lemmon's birth, The Apartment returns to cinemas in a dazzling 4K restoration.
