7/10
Terrible title, lovely film.
2 February 2010
One of the reasons I didn't know this film must be the terrible, forgettable title. However, it's a lovely film. What a debut for Jack Lemmon! Assured, slick, great timing. Pete Sheppard was the only character that didn't verge on caricature.

Judy Holliday is great as the scatty, crazy, fame-seeker, and just about convinces as Gladys' character develops.

Flimsy plot, but a subject worth dealing with: the pointlessness of fame for its own sake. Current generation of kids, take note!

Nice shots of 1950s New York and portrayal of the excitement of live TV broadcasting.
