Verdict: "The Apartment" is Billy Wilder's most famous project for a reason. Not only is it masterfully shot and beautifully acted, but it is also his most relatable film. I personally found the main character of C.C. Baxter portrayed by Jack Lemmon more fascinating than the actual plot, as he perfectly represents the nice, charming man who can't say no to anyone. This Oscar-winning classic is, like most pictures directed by Billy Wilder, a must for cinema lovers.

Final Grade: 8/10
