André Bazin L'Obs (France) The Solid Gold Cadillac is a made-to-order film for Judy Holliday, an amazing actress who perfectly justifies the operation. Dec 7, 2021 Full Review Clyde Gilmour Maclean's Magazine Judy Holliday, younger and prettier than the character in the stage production, is no less amusing in her custom-tailored role as warmhearted Little Miss Nobody who tangles with a squad of big-business bandits. Nov 5, 2019 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Gentle corporate satire.

Jack W Cleverly written romantic comedy with themes that still resonate 6 decades after it was made Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/06/24 Full Review nick s Cute comedy where a common girl takes on a corrupt corporation. Well anchored by a charming Holliday. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/12/24 Full Review Michael O It was a great comedy that touches on what you suspect about DC and corporations. I found it very entertaining. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/05/24 Full Review Audience Member Dated but Ms. Hollday's charm and enough decent gags make it entertaining. A happy ending stolen in large part from Miracle on 34th Street Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member An above average romantic comedy. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review steve d Holliday is as fun as ever even if the story is just ok Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
