The Apartment - Approved - 125 minutes
Widely regarded as a comedy in 1960, The Apartment seems
more melancholy with each passing year. Jack Lemmon plays C.C.
Baxter, a go-getting office worker who loans his tiny apartment
to his philandering superiors for their romantic trysts. He runs
into trouble when he finds himself sharing a girlfriend (Shirley
MacLaine) with his callous boss (Fred MacMurray).Air Date
Friday, 5/9/08 from 9-11:05 p.m. ET
