Npm Shah it's the moment he sobers up, literally.

Hoovy Tube he is very self effacing about it. All geniuses are.

I'm willing to try to imagine exactly that.

Yoda Zemunski sensational

Drove Jack Lemmon to drink

I'm not sure about that. It feels as if the dialogue and screenplay is written by a man. I will always question the accuracy of women's roles and dialogue if written by a man.

???

fUNNY..THANKS

And later in the film when Kubelik says that she had three men before, she holds up four fingers.

Emir Šabić is it because she was still ill ?

Subtlwise i guess

Bonpu ha, good observation!

And that being genuinely kind isn't the same thing as being accommodating.

@@IZEASGT Well said, both of you.

That's Billy Wilder, not William Wyler. Wilder wrote and directed "The Apartment," a scathing deconstruction of the corporate jungle.

Good catch, thanks. I edited my original post - I know Wilder's work well but I keep putting down Wyler for some reason.

I love this film so much!!!

and then later in the movie when he asks Fran how many bfs she had, she says "3" but holds up 4 fingers too. the attention to detail is just divine

Even Elizabeth Taylor agreed.

Lemmon should have won as well

She was also great in "Irma La Douce" which she reteamed with Jack Lemmon and directed again by Billy Wilder.

My favourite scene was when Baxter finally stood up to his boss. However the scenes with the doctor neighbour really made me laugh.

Agreed

It is love the line it makes me look the way I feel. A lot of women can relate to Fran. Great movie all around.

being used... and being two-faced.

***** I work in a hospital so I guess not. I picked the wrong profession I think!

@Isabel Beckerman Sheldrake got what was coming to him though. She did Fran a great favor. Fran did not have to try to kill herself.

in 1960

@@m.e.d.7997 Yes it reflects an office of 1960.

I miss Jack Lemmon. He was totally unique and there is no one else like him. Jimmy Stewart in some roles, when he was young, had a similar quality. Youthful Jimmy could play C. C. Baxter and Lemmon c. 1960 could play Macaulay Connor. The acting in this scene is brilliant and evokes the fugitive sadness that can pervade the Christmas season for many people.

I guess that's the way it crumbles cookie wise

Some Like it Hot is a great contender but it's all subjective, really.

Yeah he was in a year earlier in some like it hot

This is a great atmospheric Christmas season film.

I think maybe 90% commiserate/warn her and 10% twist the knife. She mentions later to the boss that it was awful seeing him parade his new mistresses around, so seeing Fran at the Chinese restaurant had to have stung a little. And she's buzzed here, so that anger is coming out a bit. But she's overall a nice woman and I think is just laying it all out for Fran because she deserves to know the full picture.

Maybe both going on.
