Solid Gold Cadillac, The

Judy Holliday shines as an idealistic stockholder who uncovers corruption at the top rung of a major corporation in this lighthearted romantic comedy. Holliday stars as Laura Partridge, a small-time stockholder who creates havoc at a board meeting, falls in love with the former Chief Executive Officer (Paul Douglas), and wrests control of the corporation from its selfish, corrupt board of directors. Adapted from the hit Broadway comedy by George S. Kaufman and Howard Teichmann, THE SOLID GOLD CADILLAC was tailor-made to fit Holliday's beloved-yet-shrewd dumb-blonde persona. Both the public and the critics turned this into yet another hit for Holliday and Columbia.
