This was a fun, entertaining movie, which will have anyone who's sick of corporate power trips rooting for the "little people" to wrest some of that power from their greedy hands!
Judy Holliday's her usual unique self, as Laura Partridge, who takes her ownership of ten shares of stock in "International Projects" seriously, as her numerous questions at a stockholders' meeting cause the "powers that be" to offer her a token job to shut her up. No such luck!
She turns her nothing position (Director of Shareholder Relations) into something special, as she corresponds with shareholders, gets to know them, and uses that to better the company and make improvements, which includes getting the founder and former CEO, Edward McKeever (Paul Douglas), to leave his new government job in D. C. and return to captain the ship he abandoned.
It may be far-fetched, it may be improbable, and the solutions may come too easy, but it's still a lot of fun.
