It Should Happen to You


This is a clever, unassuming script with many funny scenarios. It's filled with the kind of comic bits for which Doris Day would become known. Jack Lemmon makes his first appearance here in his usual impish way, although slightly toned down. But the real deal here is Judy Holliday. She's just a brilliant comedienne. There's no way around it. If people thought Born Yesterday was a fluke, this movie and The Solid Gold Cadillac certainly prove that she's a superb actress with perfect comic instincts and timing. She's just amazing here and completely lovable.
