This is a wonderful movie in every way, great acting, great story, amazing suspense of the best, most fun kind. Just try to watch it on video without wanting to talk to someone in the movie just once (probably Grace Kelly). This is a great one to watch with a group of friends. I saw it for the first time in an auditorium in college and the crowd went wild. In spite of the ultimate subject manner, it is done in a very light manner, with lots of humor. All of the people behind the neighboring windows are interesting people with compelling stories. One of my very favorites and definitely the best of Hitchcock. Perfect.

The Solid Gold Cadillac
(1956)
Let's hear it for the underdog!
31 August 2000
I have seen this movie about three times, and each time I am taken aback by the sweetness and honesty of the character Laura Partridge, as played by Judy Holiday. Even though the plot is predictable, I still enjoy watching a woman of character (who first comes across as a dizzy dame) as she continues to outsmart the cynical "opposition." A sweet comedy, and a good escape from the "real world."
