The Apartment

CriticsCritics: 94
AudienceAudience: 8.4

A junior clerk at a large New York insurance company finds a shortcut to advancement by letting senior executives use his apartment for secret romantic encounters. The arrangement brings complications into his personal life, especially as he grows closer to a cheerful elevator operator and faces a difficult situation at home.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like witty romantic comedies that mix office satire with tender, more serious moments; Not for you if you want a fast-paced, purely lighthearted story.
