McDonald at the Movies
Once a month comedian and co-founder of Kids in the Hall, Kevin McDonald will present a handpicked film from the archives of comic history.
Introduced by Kevin McDonald .
Billy Wilder’s direction was never better than in this “diamond sharp satire” featuring a brilliant performance by Jack Lemmon as the insurance clerk, C.C. Baxter, who forges ahead in the rat race by lending his apartment out to philandering senior executives. But Baxter outsmarts himself when the girl of his dreams (Fran Kubelik – Shirley MacLaine) is brought there by his boss. The Apartment swept the Academy awards in 1960 winning Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress!
