FilmCentral: 'The Apartment'

Your KCPL account gives you access to thousands of movies; films to check out from our Central Vault collection as well as to stream from Kanopy and hoopla. Our staff, Cullen and James, will announce a movie to discuss at the beginning of each month. You’ll have a few weeks to watch the movie. Then, on the third Wednesday of each month at 6:00 p.m., we will meet on Microsoft Teams and discuss. You can pop your own popcorn, wear your fuzzy slippers (or your dinner jacket) and talk cinema. See you at the movies!

In this beloved romantic dramedy, ambitious insurance clerk C.C. "Bud" Baxter (Jack Lemmon) attempts to climb the corporate ladder by loaning his apartment key to his superiors for their extramarital affairs, but the plan backfires when Bud unwittingly falls for the top executive's current girlfriend, Fran Kubelik (Shirley MacLaine). Fred MacMurray co-stars in this Billy Wilder classic that would go on to win five Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay.

Join us for a vault viewing on December 12 at 2 p.m.
