Around this time every year I like to re-watch a few of my favorite holiday films. This year so far I've watched The Apartment and Desk Set. I like these because they are not too Christmas-y and both happen to take place in office settings in New York City around the same era, the late 1950's. Not quite Mad Men territory yet, but close. I've always liked the office Christmas party scenes in both of these, they're both funny and sweet and a little bittersweet too (in The Apartment, that is). These movies kind of make me wish I was living in the big city in 1959, working in the reference department of some big ol' company and having Katherine Hepburn as my boss. Wouldn't that be fabulous?
