The film features what I consider a textbook lesson in what a great screenplay is, with jokes that continually feed on one another. The scene in which Jack looks into that cracked mirror is one of my favorite scenes in screen history, and he pulls it off so brilliantly! But isn't Shirley a little mixed up when she says that Jack hits the brother-in-law in the face; it's the other way around, right? Anyway, thanks, Kimberly, for bringing this interview to my attention. “The Apartment” has long been on my personal Top 10 List of all-time favorites, and so it comes as a bit of a shock to learn how the principals involved were “winging it” for much of the shoot.

I really like her too and The Apartment is a great comedy. I’m glad you enjoyed reading Shirley’s thoughts in making the apartment Maya! I really like her too and The Apartment is a great comedy.

Her perspective is fantastic. She's one of my favorite performers and I've seen her live several times. Your replication of her comments makes me want to see "The Apartment" again to refresh my appreciation.
