The Apartment - Trailer [1960] [33rd Oscar Best Picture]

C.C. Baxter, insurance clerk and only a face in a crowd of 30,000 employees, has a little problem: He can't use his own apartment. Since he once lent out his key to one of his superiors and his mistress, this custom has spread ever since. Now, different superiors from different departments take his place for their tête-à-têtes. Being promised not to be forgotten when it comes to shifts in personnel, C.C. Baxter swallows his anger - until he finds out that the mistress of Mr. Sheldrake, the company's boss, and his recent flame, Fran Kubelik, are the same person. And they are using his apartment! Although Baxter has not been forgotten personnel-wise, the attempted suicide of Fran in his very own bed makes him think. Written by Julian Reischl

I love this movie. There's nothing like a good old black and white. Ahh, who am i kidding, I'm just in it for Shirley! :D

I've wondered the same thing. I couldn't begin to tell you how much I adore The Apartment, but it is not a comedy. It's kind of a romantic drama with quite a few funny lines/moments, but not necessarily a comedy. The overall mood of the movie is that of a light drama, in my opinion. But anyway, this is my 5th favourite movie of all time.

The way the studios used to sell the actors as if they are brands of chocolate, maybe they still do?
