[Bounci]

Back to B&W and for this week it is the classic elevator scene from The Apartment (1960), involving Shirley MacLaine and Jack Lemmon. Shirley has never been more adorable on screen than here, and the interchange between the two stars is lovely. But what I wasn't expecting when she starts to let people out was Shirley getting her bum slapped by one of the executives (David Lewis), and it clearly surprises her! "Watch your step," she starts to say as they disembark from the elevator before being goosed. "And watch your hands, Mr Kirkeby" she adds to Lewis. "One of these days I'm gonna shut these doors out here and...(signifies missing hand)." It doesn't faze Kirkeby, who tells Lemmon. "That cutelick! Boy, would I like to get her on the slow elevator to China!"
