Alex, a self-absorbed young painter, is having a bad day. He doesn't get the art show he's been expecting, his girlfriend kicks him out, and he finds himself living in a low rent Hollywood apartment with an ironclad lease. Rejected, dejected, and surrounded by an assortment of neighbors he'd rather avoid, his downward spiraling life takes a turn when Lori, a country girl from Colorado, fresh out of the Air Force, moves in across the hall. It soon becomes apparent to Alex, though, that as convenient as it is to date someone across the hall, it's even more inconvenient to have her still living there when you try to break up.

This heartwarming family film relates the adventures of a young newsboy (Roger Mobley) who finds a lost briefcase stuffed with cash and shares it with an elderly hobo named the Colonel (Don Beddoe) -- only to discover that bank robber Rocky Kent (Johnny Seven) wants it back. The youngster's widowed mother, Laura (Wanda Hendrix), urges her son to give the case to the police, but the violent Kent refuses to give up without a fight.

Winner of five 1960 Academy Awards including Best Picture, The Apartment is legendary writer/director Billy Wilder at his scathing, satirical best, and one of "the finest comedies Hollywood has turned out" (Newsweek). C.C. "Bud" Baxter (Jack Lemmon) knows the way to success in business...it's through the door of his apartment! By providing a perfect hideaway for philandering bosses, he reaps a series of undeserved promotions. But when Bud lends the key to big boss J.D. Sheldrake (Fred MacMurray), he not only advances his career, but his own love life as well. For Sheldrake's mistress is the lovely Fran Kubelik (Shirley MacLaine), the elevator girl of Bud's dreams. Convinced that he is the only man for Fran, Bud must make the most important executive decision of his career: lose the girl...or his job.
