i actually came to post that id managed to catch the 6.30. pm showing of The Apartment. yeahh! really love that movie, its still as good as ever. But regarding this feature ; you'd have to say that over they years, barbera stanwyck has delivered absolutley the best one-liners. well not really one-liners as such, more kind of 'put-downs' than anything else. as in;she always played the strong independent woman so well, and could cut any man down to size in one line. really a tremendous actress..
