How does a nebbish become a mensch? Mike and Dan talk about Billy Wilder's 1960 masterpiece The Apartment. Mike explains why he finds it one of the most charming films ever made, as well as a perfect example of "slickness" in the best screenplays. Dan talks about the film's suspense as on par with that of Wilder's Double Indemnity and how the film defines easy categorizing. What a movie! So grab that tennis racket, drain the spaghetti, and give it a listen!
