Billy Wilder’s "The Apartment" - CIFF Classic Film
2024-11-27 17:00 | Village Theatre, 820 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
Coronado Island Film Festival and the creative mind of the great Billy Wilder (“Some Like it Hot”) have just made your Thanksgiving holiday a little bit racy and a lot more fun.
The 1960 romantic comedy-drama “The Apartment” will come to Coronado’s Village Theatre on Wed., November 30 (the night before Thanksgiving).
Produced, directed and written (with I.A.L. Diamond) by Wilder and nominated for ten Academy Awards (winner of five), the film is part of CIFF’s monthly Classic Film Series. Doors will open at 5 pm for a Meet and Greet with complimentary libations, followed by a vintage cartoon and the feature presentation at 5:30. Tickets are $15 and are available at coronadofilmfest.com.

Following the success of 1958’s “Some Like it Hot,” Wilder was eager to work again with actor Jack Lemmon, whom he compared to the brilliant Charlie Chaplin and thought could do no wrong. The film also stars Shirley MacLaine, Fred MacMurray, and Jack Kruschen. The film won Best Picture, Best Director (Wilder), and Best Screenplay (Wilder and I.A.L Diamond). Lemmon and MacLaine were nominated for Best Actor and Actress, and Kruschen, who plays Lemmon’s doctor neighbor, for Best Supporting Actor. Both Lemmon and MacLaine won Golden Globes for their performances.
Austria/ Hungarian-born Wilder and the Romanian-born Diamond enjoyed a thirty-year collaboration, including the1958 “Some Like it Hot.” The two managed to combine witty dialogue with sexual situations, exploring male-female relationships with the right mix of satire, humor, and sentiment without ever becoming sleazy or cliché.
“The Apartment” tells the story of lonely bachelor insurance clerk C.C. “Bud” Baxter (Lemmon) attempting to curry favor and climb the corporate ladder by allowing his married superiors to use his Upper West Side apartment for their illicit romantic liaisons. Meantime, Baxter falls for the building’s elevator operator Fran Kubelik (MacLaine), who, as it turns out, is having an affair with Baxter’s boss. Oh dear.
In the hands of any other director, this could have been yet another wacky rom-com with some sex thrown in, but Wilder has given these characters depth and humanity, and his cast more than rises to the occasion. Prepare to enjoy brilliant writing, directing, and spot-on, Oscar-worthy performances, all on Village Theatre’s big screen. There’s no experience quite like it.

December 4: The Russian Question (1948, Not Rated, 91 min, Russian with English subtitles)
Renowned director Mikhail Romm’s controversial, rarely screened feature throws audiences back to the dawn of the Cold War when a natural affinity between two nations had been corrupted by American yellow journalism and the power of capitalist money. An honest journalist struggles with his conscience when he is forced to write a scaremongering report about Soviet belligerent and expansionist intentions in order to further a campaign of propaganda undertaken by American media and conservative elites.

Synopsis:
Deep in the forest where the fairies dwell, a little pine tree grows among her lush and lofty neighbors. Her branches droop, her needles are sparse, and every other tree towers above her. Her greatest wish is to grow taller and stronger, so she will be chosen to stand in a special place for the Christmas season.
After every other tree finds a glorious home for the holiday, the little tree is disappointed to find where she has been taken.
But with the help of a kind man and a wise angel, the little tree discovers the true spirit of Christmas, and that her greatest wish has come true.

CIFF December Classic Film: “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation”
2024-12-18 17:00 - 19:30 | Village Theatre, 820 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
As part of its monthly Classic Film Series, Coronado Island Film Festival will present the 1989 John Hughes Christmas comedy classic, “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation,” on Wednesday, Dec. 18 at 5:30 p.m. Doors open at 5 p.m. for a complimentary “Meet and Greet Happy Hour.” Tickets are $15, are available now, and may be purchased at coronadofilmfest.com.

Get ready to laugh out loud as Chevy Chase, perfectly cast as the hapless Clark Griswold, who decides to plan a “good old-fashioned Christmas” for his family and everything that could possibly go wrong, goes wrong. Hilariously so. The third and final installment in National Lampoon Magazine’s vacation series, it also stars Beverly d’Angelo and Dennis Quaid. You can count on a stellar supporting cast that includes Miriam Flynn, William Hickey, Mae Questel, Diane Ladd, John Randolph, E.G. Marshall, Doris Roberts, Juliette Lewis, Johnny Galecki, and Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, but the movie clearly belongs to Chevy Chase. It’s directed by Jeremiah S. Chechik and written and co-produced by John Hughes, based on characters created by John Hughes in his short story, “Christmas ’59,” which was published in National Lampoon Magazine.
2023 Festival attendees will remember Diane Ladd, who was here with us to receive the CIFF Legacy Award, presented by Leonard Maltin at the Industry Tribute Gala.
What’s different in this Lampoon film is that instead of taking the family away for a vacation, as in the first two, Griswold decides to invite a motley group of relatives to come to their house for Christmas in snowy Chicago. Ever the optimist, Clark Griswold imagines a cozy, warm and fuzzy Christmas family reunion, which of course does not happen, not even close.
But you just have to love Clark and his unwavering enthusiasm for the beautiful idea, and you root for him all the way. Because at the center of all the wacky silliness this film has to offer, there lies a great big heart full of love and hope and joy. This movie is a funny, lovely gift we can all use right now, and it’s what all of us at CIFF wish for all of you and yours this holiday season.
And Happy New Year! We’ll be announcing our 2025 Classic Film lineup very soon, but mark your calendars now for Wednesday, January 29 for “Good Will Hunting,” starring Matt Damon and Robin Williams. Tickets are available now.
