Has a few bothersome characteristics in common with modern "chick flicks," but it's largely a charming romantic comedy. Judy Holliday is wonderful, as usual, and this instantly became one of my favorite Jack Lemmon roles as well--a different take on the types he usually played.

definitely a solid flick, which is quite impressive considering it's jack lemmon's first movie role. i dug the plot, but holliday's character was a little thick skulled and extremely vain. a movie that's largely forgotten, but not justifiably.

Despite a script by Garson Kanin and direction by George Kukor, nothing quite works in this film. None of the actors make a real connection with one another, the plot makes next to no sense and the wasted talent became as annoying as seeing Gladys Glover's name everywhere. Pity.

Not funny, obvious themes, unbearably stupid characters. Even Jack Lemmon is a let down in his debut role.

Generally, a good, sweet, cute movie, but there's a theme in here that, well... (CALL THE PLANE "ONE OF THE CROWD"!?)

A sweet and funny comedy. Lemmon and Holiday are funny and cute, and even Lawford is less stiff and more likable than usual. New York has never looked better.

Pretty fun, Lemmon and Holliday making this thing go on camera, with Cukor's light touch behind it. Lemmon's gift for comedy is evident every time he's on screen, while Holliday's seemingly-dense-but-not-really woman is consistently funny in a pretty bizarre but refreshing way.
