How about that whackin' the doctor gives Shirley Maclaine in "The Apartment"? I know her character is teetering between life and death from an overdose of sleeping pills, but geez! He looks like he's knocking her brains loose! That reminds me- the scene in "Airplane" where the hysterical passenger is slapped by a doctor, then another doctor, then the camera pulls back to reveal a long line of passengers waiting patiently with tire irons, brass knuckles, baseball bats,,,, Oh and of course "Milred Pierce". Taste palm, Vita!
