Director: Writers:, Starring:,,,,, ». The Apartment Blu-ray Review Reviewed by, December 28, 2017 We live in an era when cynicism is celebrated, but it's often an ugly kind of cynicism, one born of arrogance and a kind of patently weird attitude that seems to suggest, 'Hey, I can be more dismissive than you'll ever be able to be.' For a 'kinder, gentler' form of cynicism, one colored not just with the appropriate levels of distrust and subterfuge, but rather oddly suffused (at least at times) with a rather ironic amount of sincerity and honest human emotion, there's probably no better (cinematic) place to turn than Billy Wilder's legendary 1960 masterpiece, The Apartment. As is discussed in one of the supplements included on this rather handsomely packaged new release from Arrow Academy, when you consider that The Apartment deals with pimping, prostitution, blackmail and attempted suicide (not a complete list of this film's litany of peccadilloes, mind you), it's almost incredible to think that The Apartment is a comedy. Now, The Apartment is not a 'traditional' comedy in any sense of the word, something that probably made it even more provocative to 1960 audiences than it may seem to be in our, yes, cynical modern era.

What perhaps surprised audiences back at the time of The Apartment's original theatrical release is that it was Wilder's follow up to the immensely successful, the first of seven collaborations between the writer-director and star Jack Lemmon, and a film that famously offered Lemon and co- star Tony Curtis as two cross dressing musicians attempting to flee nefarious gangsters, in a plot that is for all intents and purposes a classical farce. Audiences who (initially at least) flocked to The Apartment expecting more of the same raucous approach were probably shocked, at least in passing, when the film quickly detailed its conceit: low level insurance clerk C.C. 'Bud' Baxter (Jack Lemmon) has been allowing executives at the firm where he works to use his Manhattan apartment for their extra-marital dalliances. MGM released The Apartment on Blu-ray almost six years ago, and my hunch is most coming to this review are going to be more interested in how the technical merits of this release stack up to the previous one (as well as what supplements this release contains), rather than a rehashing of the by now fairly well known plot. For a thorough summary, I refer you to my colleague Casey Broadwater's of the previous version. I do want to add a couple of comments, however, including a 'second' to Casey's raves about Shirley MacLaine's performance in the film. I had a pretty major crush on MacLaine when I was a little boy, something fostered by a childhood trip to see, a film which completely knocked my young socks off for a variety of reasons, not the least of which was MacLaine's almost patented combination of vulnerability and steely resilience.

Charity Hope Valentine was just one of several characters MacLaine essayed, another one being The Apartment's Fran Kubelik, where a woman's quest for romantic fulfilment is hobbled both by (ironically) the men she chooses, but also by the vagaries of her fate, vagaries which perhaps keep her locked in an undesirable socioeconomic status. The other interesting thing about The Apartment from a hindsight perspective is how beautifully (if disturbingly at times) it conveys the whole early sixties ' ' ambience of powerful men treating the women in their lives like possessions, and indeed almost like ornaments.
