The Apartment (1960 Billy Wilder & co-scr)

The Apartment is at 51 West 67th (but the exteriors were actually at 55, West 69th Street, according to Culture Trip.). This is the sort of fact I think I should know about one of my favourite films ever.

The subtle use of objects as plot points extends to the music - the 'Rickshaw Boy' theme (attributed to Jimmy Lee Kiang). That's how clever this film is.



Love the last line of the screenplay: "And that's about it. Story-wise."
