When his manager Mr. Sheldrake (Fred MacMurray) begins using Baxter's apartment in exchange for promoting him, Baxter is disappointed to learn that Sheldrake's mistress is Fran Kubelik (Shirley MacLaine), the elevator girl at work whom Baxter is interested in himself. Soon Baxter must decide between the girl he loves and the advancement of his career.

BLURBS:
"Such gritty material is infused with Wilder’s compassion and defined by two towering central performances." - Kevin Maher, The Times (UK)

"No one does the pitchblack flipside of funny like Wilder, and 1960's The Apartment is the darkest he ever made." - Kate Stables, Total Film

"With finely judged performances from Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine, it's a great way to spend an evening, and it's something you won't forget about in the morning." - Jennie Kermode, Eye for Film
