This is the movie with Joan Crawford. In the scene where she buys the huge house, almost to the end, her husband asks if she wants a drink. She says "Yes" and he says "Tell me when" while he's pouring it. She tells him to stop when there's hardly any brandy in the glass. He then pours himself a glass and fills it half full. When he turns towards her, he hands her the half full glass instead of the one she wanted and no one says a thing about it.
