Die Frau im goldenen Cadillac (1956)
26KDie Frau im goldenen Cadillac: Directed by Richard Quine. With Judy Holliday, Paul Douglas, Fred Clark, John Williams. A minority stockholder takes on the crooked board of directors at a billion dollar corporation.
“What can you say about Judy Holliday? Her timing was always absolutely perfect. Her facial expressions frequently making speech unnecessary. In Solid Gold Cadillac she gives a magical portrayal as Laura Partridge, the supposedly, dumb blonde, part time actress with no appreciation of Shakespeare, (u0026quot;You donu0026#39;t even get to sit down unless youu0026#39;re a kingu0026quot; – a typical Holliday line), but who is nonetheless shrewd enough to see through the corrupt shenanigans of the board of directors of a multi-national company in which she owns just ten shares. The partnering of Judy Holliday and that fine actor, Paul Douglas, as Edward L. McKeever, the upright, down to earth and totally incorruptible founder of the company, who is (according to Laura Partridge) u0026quot;scared of girlsu0026quot;, works like a dream. The film also has excellent support from Ray Collins, Arthur Ou0026#39;Connell, Neva Patterson, John Williams and of course Fred Clark, as Snell, the oily, slippery company treasurer, a real nasty piece of work. I defy anyone not to boo and hiss whenever he appears. In addition to being a delightful romantic comedy, this is also a tale of good fighting to overcome evil, and the little people of this world getting together and refusing to be trampled by a big faceless conglomerate. If youu0026#39;ve never seen this picture before, or maybe never seen a Judy Holliday movie, youu0026#39;re in for a treat.”
