The Apartment Jack Lemmon

The Apartment Jack Lemmon

The Apartment (1960) - Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine demonstrate their on-screen chemistry in this Billy Wilder romantic comedy. Lemmon is C.C. Baxter, a lowly employee who allows his superiors to use his apartment for extramarital trysts. When he falls for an elevator operator (MacLaine), he's forced into choosing between love and his career. Controversial for its time, The Apartment was nominated for 10 Oscars and won five (including Best Director and Best Picture).

"Blue Hawaii" wasn't the only tiki movie of the decade. 1963's "Under the Yum-Yum Tree" featured Jack Lemmon as a bachelor whose apartment was filled with iconic tiki sculptures and Africana. His swanky bachelor pad is a classic example of tiki decorating from the 1950s and 1960s, or the height of the tiki craze.
