Additional InformationJudy Holliday reprises her Broadway role in this fresh and entertaining comedy based on Garson Kanin's play, directed by George Cukor. Although reputedly not the first choice for the film role, Holliday won an Academy Award for her priceless portrayal of a "dumb but savvy" blonde who outsmarts the man who attempts to control her. Junk tycoon Harry Crock (Broderick Crawford) uses his ignorant and naive mistress, ex-chorus girl Billy Dawn (Holliday), as a front for his shady deals but finds himself embarrassed to travel in Washington society with his illiterate paramour. Crock hires a journalist (William Holden) who agrees to educate Billy. Holliday is delightful in her transformation to a woman of intellect and culture; the Pygmalion-like story is filled with laughs and sexual innuendo. Billy is an apt pupil and the brutish Crock is the loser in the love game in this appealing, deft film.

  • Romantic comedy with great style

    The wonderful Judy holiday is on absolute top form. Totally convincing, touching without being sentimental. All the rest of the cast absolutely excellent. A delightful feelgood film. Filmed in the real locations in Washington DC .

  • Judy Holliday, Oscar performance, acting at its best.

    This film is a classic. It is funny and very entertaining. The lead played by Judy Holliday earned her an Oscar for a superb performance. Broderick Crawford was also engaging. I loved it and it should be in everyone's dvd collection. A shame that she died in her early forties but leaving this legacy behind for posterity is wonderful.
