Finally watching allot of great films.
The apartment is the strongest in its writing. Its script is probably one of the best i've seen, the dialogue is so charming. Jack lemmon's performance makes his character even more entertaining to watch.
Billy wilder directs the fuck outta this one.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A witty romantic comedy that somehow manages to be hilarious and genuinely moving at once, balancing slapstick chaos with surprising emotional depth as a lonely clerk learns what actually matters.
