| Classic Film and TelevisionMichael E. GrostDelicious comedy - and beautiful time capsule of New York City and early television. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA "My Friend Irma" type of dumb blonde comedy, that is expertly performed by Judy Holliday. |
| User ReviewMatthew HA charming little film about a New York documentary filmmaker and a would-be model who invests all of her money in a billboard. |
| User ReviewAndrew BLemmon's first film role. Really funny stuff in this movie. |
| User ReviewRay JJudy Holliday is hilarious as the ditzy blond and Lemmon in one of his best early roles. This movie will leave you rolling in the aisles; after all, "It could happen to you" (rolling in the aisles I mean). |
| User ReviewKatie RI adore this movie so much. It's an extremely sweet, charming and funny romantic comedy. This was Jack Lemmon's first major film role, and it's definitely a star-maker. Judy Holiday is so adorable and charming. They have really strong chemistry and make a cute pairing. The premise is pretty unique. All rolled together, they make for a great film. |
| User ReviewRandolph GGladys Glover comes to NYC from a small town with a mission to become famous. She saves her money and rents space on a billboard in Times Square upon which she puts only her name. Hilarious commentary on the nature of celebrity in our "modern" world. |
| User ReviewAlicia CJack Lemmon and Judy Holiday find each other in the midst of seductive, materialistic success. |
| User ReviewNicki SSuch a good film. Judy Holliday is one glorious comedienne. |
| User ReviewPrivate UMakes even more sense nowadays with all those "reality TV shows" where people dream of fame - without actually being famous for anything. Good one! |
