This is the somewhat dark comedy predecessor to "How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" in that both deal with corporate greed and bureaucracy with a satirical approach. Holliday is masterful, as always, in her portrayal of a somewhat naive stockholder who is given a position with the company to shut her up--she ends up saving the day for the employees and stockholders by performing an end-run around the officers. Certainly as entertaining, if not moreso, as her "Bells Are Ringing" with Dean Martin. I loved it!
Viewer Reviews I've read the play and always wanted to see the movie, finally broke down and bought the DVD. It's well worth owning. Judy Holliday is excellent and--for the period--there's surprisingly little patronizing of the career woman. I had a bit of trouble swallowing the romance aspect but it was sweet nonetheless. Definitely a nice addition to an old movie collection.
