“Even in the bleakest of Christmases, there’s always hope. It thrives on it. And it’s precisely hope that Billy Wilder’s beloved 1960 film offers the world.”
—The Independent
“The movie is a masterpiece, structure-wise and otherwise — a rare Best Picture Oscar® winner that might actually have been the year’s best picture.”
—Matt Zoller Seitz
Always a keen observer and deflator of American mores, Wilder found his dream couple in Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine. Lemmon plays a young and ambitious office worker who, in the hopes of currying favor from his higher-ups, lends his apartment to corporate execs for romantic trysts with their mistresses. At the same time, he becomes more and more attached to the elevator operator Fran Kubelik (MacLaine). When these two aspects of his romantic and work life begin to conflict, he finds himself in a real quandary. A near-perfect film, romantic and world-weary in equal proportions. New 4K restoration.
