@pleasedontask Well, both have key scenes on New Year's Eve, so, yeah, Auld Lang Syne. Not aware of the song in any other Wilder movies.
What's great about this ending is the way Wilder and Diamond pull back from being incredibly, unbearably, schmaltzy right at the last instant and fashion an ending that is near to perfect.
Billy Wilder made Sunset Blvd, Some Like It Hot, Double Indemnity, Stalag 17 and this masterpiece among many other classic fllms. Shirley MacLaine and Jack Lemmon are simply magnficent. Both early in their careers they were nominated but overlooked for the Oscar. Seen today a mistake...in career's of fine acting nothing they did topped their work here in The Apartment.
just finished watching this movie, much better than I expected

This is, like, the best ending line EVER. Lemmon's great, as always, but I think MacLaine not winning was a travesty. She's heartbreaking here.

Bravo to Wilder, MacMurray, Lemmon and MacLaine
