Certain moments in film have an uncanny ability to jolt us out of our seats, leaving us stunned. An on-screen slap can be just as unforgettable. Take, for instance, the scene in The Maltese Falcon, a three-time Oscar nominee, where Sam Spade, played by Humphrey Bogart, disarms and slaps Joel Cairo (Peter Lorre) while telling him, "When you're slapped, you'll take it and like it," in defense of Brigid O'Shaughnessy (Mary Astor), who had initially slapped Cairo before he drew a gun on her. Or the "snap out of it" slap by Loretta (Cher) to Ronny (Nicolas Cage) in the late Norman Jewison's 1987 romantic comedy-drama Moonstruck when Ronny tells her that he was in love with her!
