A lonely Manhattan insurance clerk tries to rise in his company by letting its executives use his apartment for their extramarital affairs, but office politics and his own romantic hopes complicate matters.
The Apartment is sharp social critique, romantic comedy and sad drama, with all parts fitting together to make it one of Billy Wilder's masterpieces, and a holiday classic.
"There is a melancholy gulf over the holidays between those who have someplace to go, and those who do not. “The Apartment” is so affecting partly because of that buried reason: It takes place on the shortest days of the year, when dusk falls swiftly and the streets are cold, when after the office party some people go home to their families and others go home to apartments where they haven’t even bothered to put up a tree. On Christmas Eve, more than any other night of the year, the lonely person feels robbed of something that was there in childhood and isn’t there anymore."
Roger Ebert
