Judy Holliday was honestly a genius. I don't know how she does it, but the comedic timing, the physical comedy, the hilarious faces. She's just amazing and lovable all at the same time. This is a very cute musical with music by Jule Styne, and some of the songs are simply sublime. Having them sung by Dean Martin also makes these songs really wonderful, but the draw here is Holliday – in her last film – playing a role she made famous on Broadway.
I watched Bells Are Ringing on the Criterion Channel, which was showing a bunch of Judy Holliday's movies.
