The Apartment was the first movie that I began as a youthful viewer to realize the subtleties movies are capable of. - @Friday, July 20, 2018 12:10 AM

Loved the movie. 60's were great. Hollywood has gone to hell today. :o( - @Saturday, June 16, 2018 2:31 AM

It does have funny moments though; I agree with those who label it a comedy-drama. Got a well-deserved Oscar win for Best Picture.

Americans are dumb and need labels on everything! Comedy-Drama works best. - @Saturday, July 1, 2017 5:22 AM

[Spoilers ahead!] THE APARTMENT may be serious in several scenes, but there's a lot more humour in it. That and the fact that it has a happy ending indicate that it's a comedy. - @Saturday, March 21, 2015 8:46 PM

The Apartment hasn't dated at all. A testament to Wilder's and Diamond's script. Timeless. - @Tuesday, March 3, 2015 3:36 AM

Jack is the most appropriate actor to play the role of CC Baxter in this great movie. He should have won the 1960 Oscar Best Actor for this movie instead of in "Save the Tiger" many years later. - @Friday, December 21, 2012 3:59 AM

Both Lemmon and Maclaine should have won Academy Awards for The Apartment for their exemplary work. - @Friday, June 1, 2012 8:50 PM
