The Apartment (1960)

Wednesday, April 20, 2011 Labels: , , , ,


This is the simple tale of a mensch, a decent guy. He's not particularly brave or heroic, but he does have his scruples. These go largely unchallenged as he plods through a normal unobtrusive job: a junior accountant in a New York City firm of vast dimensions, a sea of adding machines on desks, one of which he inhabits during his workday. Baxter is not really a climber, but he does like to please - to a fault. He's called "Buddy Boy" by his more corporately conscious (and less principled) contemporaries, but he fails to see the manipulation behind their smiles and false camaraderie. He trudges home late every evening to a modest apartment where his tastes are simple to the point of spartan. He's the kind of guy who strains spaghetti in an old tennis racquet. And sings an aria while he does it, if only to himself. But nobody else sees that. He's pretty much invisible. Nobody hates him, but nobody loves him either. He's a gentle heart adrift in a sea of anonymity and loneliness. The perfect guppy in an ocean full of sharks.................
