DIG THIS: THE APARTMENT @ COOLIDGE CORNER THEATRE

satire swing

From Billy Wilder, the man who gave you one of the most critically acclaimed comedies ever with Some Like It Hot, comes one of the most critically acclaimed satires ever made … predictably enough. Seriously, you should have seen that one coming. Dude pretty much “won” Hollywood’s Golden Age. Here, Jack Lemmon is insurance firm peon C.C. Baxter, who tries to climb the corporate ladder by letting his managers shack up in his pad, extra-marital-style. But will he get flummoxed or flustered? Again, Jack Lemmon. See: one coming, should have.
