You're right on all counts regarding Fred and 'The Apartment.' I recall the latter as being number one for you, may I know what has eclipsed it at the pinnacle?
Thanks, and glad you agree. And, tops on my all-time favs list would be 'The Best Years of Our Lives'.

Or was that The Apartment. And that might not be a dive. Jack gets around, doesn't he?
As I haven't watched DOWAR for many years and so I could be wrong here, but yes, I wonder if you might actually be thinking of the bar in 'The Apartment' and where on Christmas Eve we have Jack sitting at the bar with the woman (actress Hope Holiday who's wonderful) down in the dumps because she can't be with her jockey husband for Christmas in NYC because he's stuck in jail in Havana. Just another great scene in that movie.
