My Thoughts:

I  absolutely love this film. By far one of my favorite movies from the 60s. This is definitely a classic. I was first introduced to Jack Lemon in  The Prisoners of Second Avenue (1975). I had watched this with my grandparents a few summers ago. They had told me to watch The Apartment, but I couldn't find it anywhere. I watched it about a year ago for the first time. I really enjoy this movie and Jack Lemon as an actor. He adds a bunch of weird quirks to this role which makes it even better. I don't think anyone but Jack Lemon could have played Bud Baxter. I also love Shirley MacLaine in this film. I hadn't seen any of her other work, but this was outstanding. I had even gotten my father into this movie. Now he is into watching old films like I do. As for my poster I wanted to simplify the original poster. I loved the lock and key, but all of the text was very cluttering. 

My Rewatch Rating:

10/10
