Talk about being in a pickle! I think I’ve heard of “The Apartment” before but never watched it. I doubt it’s on my Netflix list but that may change soon, since the description has me thinking of “The Graduate” and also about a guy I ran into last week who told me that he thinks his brother in-law is having an affair, because he drives the brother in-law to the same *suspicious* spot pretty frequently.
I’ve been into foreign films lately and haven’t given black and white movies mich play this year, but “The Apartment” sounds like it would be interesting to watch. A guy getting involved with his boss’s side piece is definitely a recipe for disaster and is surely the wrong track to that corner office!
I highly recommend it. There are some tonal similarities to The Graduate, but it’s a pretty different film. If black and white movies aren’t your thing, remember that it’s an artistic decision the director made to heighten certain emotions while downplaying others. It’s pretty great.
I know what you mean about black and white films. But You really should give it a chance. It’s pretty great.
