How Much Does Jon Cryer Make Per Episode?

Billy Wilder - The Apartment

CC Baxter (Jack Lemmon ) is employed by an insurance company. To ascend, left his apartment to different heads of the company, which gives him insomnia problems, arguments with neighbors ... Meanwhile, try to get an appointment with Fran Kubelik (Shirley MacLaine ). Everything is further complicated when the chief of staff, Mr. Sheldrake (Fred MacMurray ) calls him to ask the now famous key to your apartment.


Wilder continue with the cycle, which so far has yielded great results. Thank you all for the recommendations.

In "The Apartment" Billy Wilder finds the perfect balance of comic works ( "Front Page" , "Some Like It Hot" ) and the most serious (" Twilight of the Gods" ). is funny, cynical, romantic ... a great movie.

The characters are clichés, which makes no lack of charm. The husband who cheats on his wife, the lover who deceived with promises of divorce, the employee who wants to aspire to more ... characters that can be found in thousands of works, but all with a little detail that makes them special and different.

Actions are wonderful. Shirley MacLaine makes one of his best roles, charming and perfect in every shot. Jack Lemmon is in one of his best roles. It's amazing how credible that is as poor sucker which is used worldwide. Fred MacMurray is all that should be hateful to complement your character.
Another highlight are secondary. Both office mates, as neighbors, the home or children do very well. He has a great supporting cast.

The script is too predictable. This does not make a bad script, mind you. It's fun, sharp, cynical and very critical, in line with Wilder. The philosophical conversation about love is amazing. But take away the charm of the movie that everything seems to go in one direction and actually go there. Do not expect this movie to surprise you.

Great movie details:
-CC Baxter's hat. I'm considering it a character, like the ring in Lord of the Rings.
"The doctor asked to donate his body to science.
-Baxter's obsession with the cards. Seriously, what is the point of that game?.
"Be attentive to the Secretary of Sheldrake, is great. And I admit I feel a weakness for the aesthetics of character.

And this time I will not complain about the makeup. Is very good for both men and women. It is discreet and effective. Applaud the makeup.

With the lighting, I have no longer so clear. It's a good job except in two locations: the Chinese and the flat bar. Maybe try more of a problem of poor choice of scenery, but in two places left several areas so dark it takes to tell whether it is day or night.

The music is not my taste. As this is something that happens to me all Wilder's films, except for Some Like It Hot. I guess my thing because it is well appreciated. But I do not say anything at all.

Curiosities:
- DC The letters are an abbreviation CC Baxter Calvin Clifford.
- After The apartment, spent 33 years until a black and white film won the Oscar for best picture. He won Schindler's List.
"The script was written as rolled.

Awards:
-Five Oscars: best director, best film, best editing, best art direction and best original screenplay.
"Three BAFTA: Best Actor (Jack Lemmon), Best Actress (Shirley MacLaine) and Best Film.

Note: an eight. The script will subtract points. But it is fantastic. Attentive to detail in this movie ^ ^
