Zoom Adult/TeenLove classic films? Join our virtual discussion of "The Apartment" (1960), a sharp romantic comedy-drama starring Shirley MacLaine, Jack Lemmon, and Fred MacMurray.
Ambitious insurance clerk C.C. "Bud" Baxter attempts to climb the corporate ladder by loaning his apartment key to his superiors for their extramarital affairs, but the plan backfires when Bud unwittingly falls for the top executive's current girlfriend, Fran Kubelik. Billy Wilder directs this classic that would go on to win five Academy Awards® including Best Picture and Best Director. (from Kanopy)
