the charms of Judy Holliday
13 June 2023
Laura Partridge (Judy Holliday) owns 10 shares in International Projects Ltd. It's annual stockholder meeting in New York City. Company founder Edward McKeever is the only honest man on the board and he is leaving to join the government. As they try to rush through the annual report, Laura insists on questioning their executive pay. As time passes, she remains a thorn in the side of the crooked board. They decide to keep her close, too close.

The age difference is a little concerning, but it was a different time. She's a full grown woman and she can chooses whoever she wants. With that settled, this is all about Judy Holliday. She has an endearing charming voice. She is an unique star and she commands this movie. The story is a Mr. Smith Goes to Washington in the corporate offices. It's pretty good. I would like a more direct meet-cute between Laura and Edward. They should bump into each other before the stockholder meeting.
