The Apartment is a 1960 American romantic comedy-drama film by the celebrated director Billy Wilder, and it is starring Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine. The movie is an incredible example of the talents of both Wilder and Lemmon. Jack plays the role of C.C. Baxter, an insurance clerk trying to climb the corporate ladder in the big city. He loans out his apartment to his bosses for their extramarital affairs, hoping it will earn him a promotion in return. However, things get complicated when Baxter falls for the elevator girl, Miss Kubelik (MacLaine), who is also dating his married boss.

The movie's soundtrack features famous songs from that era, such as "Jealous Lover" and "The Look of Love." However, what makes this film stand out is not only the acting and directing but also Shirley MacLaine's marvelous performance of the classic "A Very Special Love."
