You're 5'7"? You don't look that tall while you're sitting down...

In 1960, for money matters, you just add a zero for today's worth. So, $15 in 1960 would be around $150. $100 in 1960 would be around $1000.

In Billy Wilder's magnum opus, "The Apartment", the culmination of the narrative arc left audiences on an artful precipice, creating a compelling sense of ambiguity. The protagonists, C.C. Baxter (Jack Lemmon) and Fran Kubelik (Shirley MacLaine), are impressively depicted as lost souls, grappling with the unforgiving grind of urban life and the moral compromises inherent within their relationships. Baxter and Kubelik are profoundly human characters, each entangled in an exploitative relationship that chips away at their dignity. They find themselves standing at the precipice of a moral abyss, teetering between their desperate desires to escape their stagnating lives and the shame that accompanies the capitulation of their core values. Baxter emerges as a true knight in tarnished armor, rescuing Kubelik from the brink of oblivion, taking a physical hit in the process to defend her honor. His declaration of love towards the end signifies his readiness to leave the oppressive circumstances of their entanglements and genuinely hope for Fran's well-being. Baxter's actions serve as a potent testament to his transformative journey and the depth of his emotional investment. However, Wilder deliberately resists providing audiences with a conventional happy ending. Kubelik's seemingly dismissive response to Baxter's declaration of love - "Shut-up and deal." - can be perceived as a powerful metaphor encapsulating the theme of the film. Here, the human experience is likened to a card game; one must play with the hand they've been dealt, adapting and improvising as the game unfolds. Thus, "The Apartment" concludes on a note of existential uncertainty, forcing viewers to contemplate the protagonists' future, much like real life - unpredictable and ongoing. The beauty lies in the possibility of the unknown, mirroring life's own mysterious journey. This makes Wilder's masterpiece all the more impactful, leaving an indelible mark on its audience. Ultimately, this deeply layered narrative is a poignant exploration of life, love, and the inherent struggle for individuality amidst societal pressures, leaving viewers to mull over their interpretation of the ambiguous finale. While some may see it as a cliffhanger, others might perceive it as a reflection of life's enigmatic nature, echoing the poignant unpredictability of the human experience.

Dawn's inability to have empathy for any female character continues to be one of the best parts of this channel lmao

The Santa Claus was played by Hal Smith who was best known as the lovable town drunk Otis on THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW, I don’t know if you’ve ever seen that. Ray Walston was later famous on the TV show MY FAVORITE MARTIAN, and as Mr. Hand in the movie FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH.
