Rating: - Lovely screwball comedy that's even more relevant today
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.

There is an immediate smile as Holliday and Paul Douglas head for the lunch counter at Schrafts, Douglas is warned that a bridge toll will cost him twenty-five cents, and the steno pool uses the latest in Smith ...

Rating: - Great movie
I cannot stand Judy's voice, but I love this movie. It is entertaining and I have never seen another movie even remotely like it. I love it for its originality and ingenuity.
