I can see why it helped to make Monroe a star, though.

The Apartment is great, but I couldn’t help thinking the story, essentially, is a rom-com, a great rom-com at that, but still a rom-com. Maybe I’m missing something, the characters are wonderful and timeless.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-55661405688874592712014-03-15T17:33:03.265-07:002014-03-15T17:33:03.265-07:00I haven't seen this film though I am planning ...I haven't seen this film though I am planning to check out more films by Billy Wilder as <i>The Apartment</i> is so far my favorite film of his.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
