About it
Settle into a morning of nostalgia with a warm coffee and fresh croissant as we showcase timeless classics on the big screen. Booking is required for catering. Doors Open: 10.30AM. Film: 11AM. C.C. Baxter (Jack Lemmon) is an office clerk who courts favour with the executives in his office by giving them the key to his small apartment for their extramarital flings. Among them is his callous boss, J.D. Sheldrake (Fred MacMurray), who Baxter eventually learns is using his place to sleep with Miss Kubelik (Shirley MacLaine), the sweet elevator operator the clerk has loved from afar. When Sheldrake coldly dumps the vulnerable young woman, she tries to take her own life in Baxter's apartment, giving the clerk the opportunity to save the woman of his dreams — but possibly lose his job.
