The Apartment is a 1960 American comedy-drama film produced and directed by Billy Wilder, which stars Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine, and Fred MacMurray. It was Wilder's next movie after Some Like It Hot and, like its predecessor, a commercial and critical smash, grossing $25 million at the box office. The film was nominated for ten Academy Awards, and won five. The film was the basis of the 1968 Broadway musical "Promises, Promises", with book by Neil Simon, music by Burt Bacharach, and lyrics by Hal David.
