1960 trailer for The Apartment. The narrator keeps insisting on the story is warm and delightful, but according to our beloved film critic David Thomson:
“In hindsight, I have the impression that The Apartment feels very sour… Its world (like that of Psycho) is unrelievedly bleak—Sheldrake (MacMurray), for instance, is a very cold blooded-fellow.”
We’ve seen it. And we wept in that way you do when you know he will never leave his wife but you still love him. And you feel very alone.
