The Apartment (1960)
9/10
A Time When Cinema was Realistic
11 June 2018
Intelligently written and beautifully shot; The Apartment follows a gullible pushover C.C. getting taken advantage of for his apartment which is located in a prime nightlife side of town. He keeps his head down and his mouth shut , fore he seeks promotions with his apartment hustle. Eventually the head boss catches wind of his scheme - and promotes C.C. to the top position , in exchange to use the apartment to screw the woman C.C. secretly loves at his job.

Great framing , all wide shots no close-ups. Excellent use of supporting/background characters (the doc, the neighbors, some lower-level employees, head boss mistress secretary, biker brother-in-law) . Overall great experience of how cinema once was

8.5/10 - It's aged but it aged well
