Program Description

Event Details

For the month of March, we will be showing movies starring actress Shirley MacLaine.  Shirley is an acclaimed actress who got her start during the Golden Age of Hollywood and quickly started cranking out classics, earning a star on the Walk of Fame just 5 years into her career.  She was equally adept at comedy and tragedy, working across many genres.  Today she is respected and still working into her 90s.

On this night, we are watching Shirley in Billy Wilder's 1960 film "The Apartment" also starring Jack Lemmon and Fred MacMurray.

A Manhattan insurance clerk tries to rise in his company by letting its executives use his apartment for trysts, but office politics and his own romantic hopes complicate matters.
