Well, I’m one step closer to finishing AFI’s 100 Years…100 Movies list. This weekend I watched The Apartment (1960) with Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine, and Fred MacMurray. I loved The Apartment and now I love Jack Lemmon. How anyone could prefer (even for a short time) an old Fred MacMurray to Jack Lemmon is beyond me. He is so funny and cute and adorable, especially in this movie. The movie centers on C.C. Baxter (Lemmon) who lends out his apartment to colleagues, for them to use as a place to spend time with their girlfriends (unbeknownst to their wives, obviously). These colleagues all have a part in his promotion, especially his boss J.D. Sheldrake (MacMurray) who starts to use Baxter’s apartment to spend time with elevator girl Fran Kubelik (MacLaine) whom, incidentally, Baxter likes. It’s a great classic movie directed by Billy Wilder that everyone should see.
