Page 12 October 9 - 15, 2023 Still one of movie history's greatest comedies, though it has its share of pathos as well, "The Apartment" claimed the Oscar as the best picture of 1960. An MGM+ Drive-In at- traction on Monday, Oct. 9, and Tuesday, Oct. 10, director and co-writer Billy Wilder's tale casts Jack Lemmon as an office drone who's quite popular with much of the management at his workplace … thanks to his relatively tiny apartment, which he loans out to the bosses so that they can have romantic trysts there. The company's main chief (Fred MacMurray) discovers what's going on and cuts himself in, but his affair is with the office building's elevator operator (Shirley MacLaine) – who is greatly liked by Lemmon's character, forcing him to develop more of a conscience about what he's been facilitating. This simply is a great film that not only has held up on its own over 60-plus years, it also inspired the hit stage musical "Promises, Promises." The excellent cast also includes Ray Walston, Jack Kruschen and Edie Adams. By Jay Bobbin Jack Lemmon and Shirley Maclaine in "The Apartment" "The Apartment" remains well worth visiting "Murder on the Orient Express" (Paramount+, streaming): Director Sidney Lumet's wonderfully stylish 1974 version of the Agatha christie mystery is — just as the ads promised — "the who's who in the whodunit," encompassing everyone from Albert Finney (as master sleuth Hercule Poirot) and Sean connery to Lauren bacall and Oscar winner Ingrid bergman. The story has been told in other screen versions as well, but the sheer style and elegance of this rendering is hard to top. more retro rewinds classiccorner SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14 MOVIES SPORTS FAMILY SPECIALS C - COMCAST S1 - DISH NETWORK S2 – DIRECTV C S1 S2 9 AM 9:30 10 AM 10:30 11 AM 11:30 12 PM 12:30 1 PM 1:30 2 PM 2:30 3 PM 3:30 4 PM 4:30 (8) NBC WNDU 16 16 (7:00) 16 News Now Saturday Morning (N) Protecting the Wild (N) Earth Odyssey (N) Play It "Rare Air" (N) One Team- Sports (N) Gymnastics 2023 Rugby World Cup Quarterfinal: Teams TBA (N) (Live) Pregame (N) (Live) College Football Teams TBA (N) (Live) (12) CBS WSBT 22 22 CBS Saturday Morning (N) Lucky Dog (N) Innovation Nation (N) College Football Teams TBA All the action from NCAA college football.
