#Iwatched #TheApartment (1960) again. #BillyWilder had already sympathized with the role of women in #SomeLikeItHot. This classic looks at their bleak modern work situation. Like that of elevator girl #ShirleyMacLaine who falls for a company boss that cynically uses her for sex. #JackLemmon provides the apartment for such rendezvous. And he delivers his erratic brand of slapstick that barely allows to call this a comedy. In truth it is more of a grim social study that appeals for being a mensch.

At #wgtnfilmsoc last night for the luminescent #TheApartment… another full house at the #Embassy. Jack and Shirley doing one for the ages.

The theme on #TCMParty today seems to be Oscar-winning movies with major characters from Cincinnati. Represent! #TheApartment #thegoodbyegirl

Idea for a double feature: #PillowTalk followed by #TheApartment. Followed by a panel discussion about the parallels between the characters of Rock Hudson vs. Fred MacMurray, Tony Randall vs. Jack Lemmon and Doris Day vs. Shirley MacLaine. Movie theatre owners, heads up!
