The TVI Take
1960 Best Picture winner. Billy Wilder's masterpiece about a corporate climber who lends his apartment to executives for affairs.
Exceptional cognitive engagement from the tonal complexity — simultaneously hilarious, romantic, and deeply dark. Educational value from its critique of corporate culture and sexual politics. Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine are perfect.
