The Solid Gold Cadillac (1956)

A small time stockholder (Judy Holliday) creates havoc at the board meeting of a major corporation by repeatedly exercising her right to ask questions which the board finds uncomfortable. So they devise a meaningless job for her as director of shareholder relations. To their chagrin, she she turns out to be a potent adversary. Based on the hit Broadway play by George S. Kaufman and Howard Teichmann and directed by Richard Quine (BELL BOOK AND CANDLE). The film version changes the 70ish little old lady of the play (played by Josephine Hull) to the more attractive 33 year old Judy Holliday and concocts a romance between Holliday and Paul Douglas for the screen version that was not present in the play. It's a cute little movie, nothing special but Holliday was an ace comedienne and she does a lot toward making the film eminently watchable. The plot about the little guy (or in this case little woman) taking on a behemoth corporation and winning is thin and predictable. With Arthur O'Connell, John Williams, Fred Clark, Ray Collins, Neva Patterson and Richard Deacon.
