Judy Holliday is wonderful in this sparkling little comedy as Gladys Glover, an ex-model with aspirations of stardom. She begins to achieve her big dreams when she blows her life-savings on getting her name plastered on the biggest billboard in town! Jack Lemmon, as her long-suffering, aspiring boyfriend, hits a home run in this, his Hollywood debut. Cute comedy may be a bit corny at times, as well as utterly ridiculous, but it's rather fun to watch. A nicely-done, pleasant diversion. Would I recommend? Yes, to fans of Judy Holliday and Jack Lemmon alike, and to those who like a good little comedy.

A time capsule from 1950s New York, which is so prominent on screen that it practically becomes a character in its own right. As always, Judy Holliday is great fun as the fame-chasing lead, and Lemmon’s early charm in his debut film shines through. The satire’s light touch and the plot’s a bit fluffy, but it’s an easy, breezy watch. Whilst not a classic, it's good fun if you’re into old-school rom-coms with a playful jab at ambition.
