100 "Night like this, it sorta spooks you, walking into an empty apartment.""I said I had no family. I didn't say I had an empty apartment." A film of deliciously dark and humbling set-ups and payoffs, each built with an inherent comic purpose, eventually crumbling into tragedy.
A downtrodden office clerk in 1960s New York City attempts to advance his career by letting executives use his apartment for extramarital affairs, a scheme that complicates his life when he finds himself falling for his boss's mistress.
Billy Wilder directed this 1960 film, an Austrian-born filmmaker known for his acerbic wit and work on projects like Some Like It Hot and Sunset Boulevard.
The film won five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay. Tickets on Mood.
