The original dumb-blonde. Judy Holliday was quite good. but nothing compares to the fiery performances by Bette Davis or Gloria Swanson.

Has some slow stretches, especially when dealing with the overarching corruption plot, but Holliday steals the show. A performance that could easily be unbearably grating turns out exceedingly nuanced and hilarious, and the rest of the cast has its moments too.

Good one. The over-the-top Holliday is great, equal parts annoying (her character is supposed to be), endearing and funny (thanks to her fine delivery of the intermittently hilarious lines).

Judy Holliday steals the show as the dumb blonde whose gangster boyfriend wants her to acquire some culture, so he hires her a tutor.

Judy Holliday won over Bette Davis in All About Eve and Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard. Wait, what?

Judy Holliday is excellent as the archetype "dumb blonde" character; the character is such a cliche it's amazing how much mileage she gets out of it (there's a Pinnacle scene which is hilarious). Unfortunately the main plotline of Washington corruption that plays around her is bland and forgettable.
