I watched this once some thirty-plus years ago. Funny the tricks the memory plays, since I remembered this as being in vivid colour rather than the black and white in which it was shot. 

Back then, I decided I&#039;d ticked the box and had no desire to watch it again. Whatever I&#039;d expected, The Apartment wasn&#039;t it (I probably watched it off the back of Some Like It Hot expecting more of the same. I&nbsp; remember finding the drug overdose/stomach pumping particularly depressing).

Watching it last night was a very different experience. It hit all the right notes for me: funny, charming and just touching enough to give it substance. It&#039;s reminded me that I haven&#039;t seen nearly enough of Jack Lemmon&#039;s body of work, and the same goes for Billy Wilder.</blockquote>
