Classic Cinema: The Apartment

Posted bylucindasagemidgordenPosted inPodcastTags:, , ,

I’m a little behind on posting our Classic Cinema With the Sage Sisters posts. I’ve been working on my memoir, Everything I Need to Know About Being Human I Learned From Movies.

The Apartment is an iconic movie about the changing mores in the U.S. that started in the 60s. It’s also about corporate hierarchy and the things that people do to get ahead. If you want to see a movie with examples of toxic masculinity, this movie is a perfect example. Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine are fantastic, but Fred MacMurray gives a chilling performance.

I grew up in the West, the descendant of people traveling by wagon train to a new life. Some of their determination and wanderlust became a part of me. I imagine them sitting around the campfire telling stories, which is why I became first a theatre artist, then a teacher and now a writer. They are all ways of telling stories.
