Here, she&#8217;s perfectly cast as a naive yet persistent woman who dares to take on the corrupt behemoth of International Corporation (how&#8217;s <em>that <\/em>for a blandly descriptive name?), and finds herself falling in love (with Douglas) as a bonus. It&#8217;s not Holliday&#8217;s best film, but, as all fans of the ill-fated actress (who died far too early at the age of 44) will agree, it&#8217;s a treat to see her in nearly anything. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Judy Holliday as Laura Partridge<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Solid-Gold-Cadillac-Holliday.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Solid-Gold-Cadillac-Holliday-1024x553.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"346\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-47526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Solid-Gold-Cadillac-Holliday-1024x553.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Solid-Gold-Cadillac-Holliday-300x162.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Solid-Gold-Cadillac-Holliday-128x69.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Solid-Gold-Cadillac-Holliday-768x415.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Solid-Gold-Cadillac-Holliday-1536x830.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Solid-Gold-Cadillac-Holliday.png 1719w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Paul Douglas as Ed McKeever, Holliday&#8217;s love interest<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Solid-Gold-Cadillac-Douglas.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Solid-Gold-Cadillac-Douglas-1024x561.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"351\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-47527\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Solid-Gold-Cadillac-Douglas-1024x561.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Solid-Gold-Cadillac-Douglas-300x164.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Solid-Gold-Cadillac-Douglas-128x70.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Solid-Gold-Cadillac-Douglas-768x421.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Solid-Gold-Cadillac-Douglas-1536x842.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Solid-Gold-Cadillac-Douglas.png 1731w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>A clever, often amusing tale of collective action<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Solid-Gold-Cadillac-TV.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Solid-Gold-Cadillac-TV-1024x555.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"347\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-47528\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Solid-Gold-Cadillac-TV-1024x555.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Solid-Gold-Cadillac-TV-300x163.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Solid-Gold-Cadillac-TV-128x69.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Solid-Gold-Cadillac-TV-768x416.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Solid-Gold-Cadillac-TV-1536x833.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Solid-Gold-Cadillac-TV.png 1739w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nNo, but it&#8217;s recommended, and definitely must-see viewing for any fans of Judy Holliday. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Links: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/imdb.com\/title\/tt0049777\/\">IMDb entry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/1956\/10\/25\/archives\/screen-judy-holiday-takes-financiers-for-ride-she-is-at-controls-of.html\">NY Times Original Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dvdtalk.com\/dvdsavant\/s999cad.html\">DVD Savant Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tcm.com\/tcmdb\/title\/90715\/the-solid-gold-cadillac#articles-reviews?articleId=153065\">TCM Article<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.timeout.com\/film\/74930.html\">Time Out Capsule Review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Did you hear her when I announced we were voting ourselves bonuses?
