It Should Happen to You description All Gladys Glover wants is to make a name for herself in New York--which explains the giant billboard with her name plastered across it. Celebrity, of course, follows. It Should Happen to You proves that the concept of "being famous for being famous" did not arrive with Angelyne or Paris Hilton.

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | wonderful classic Judy Holliday at her best! |
| I watched this as a double-header with another film by the great Judy Holliday, probably her most well-known performance in BORN YESTERDAY, for which she won a much-deserved Academy Award for Best Actress. IT SHOULD HAPPEN TO YOU may not be as well-known, but it certainly should be. Judy's comedic genius as "the dumb blonde" is showcased here, brilliantly. She was definitely a comic GENIUS, and more people need to see this film to get a glimpse into the artistic talent of a woman who, perhaps, was the smartest "dumb blonde" in film history, who used her deceptive "dimwittedness" as a ruse to successfully turn things upside down.
Gladys Clover (Judy Holliday) is a young woman who wants nothing more but to be famous just for the sake of being famous. What is her masterplan to obtain it? Through commissioning a series of billboards with her name, to be displayed downtown for the world to see, of course! This unsual approach to gaining celebrity actually works, and leads to many opportunities in the limelight. What Gladys comes to learn, of course, is that all that glitters is not gold. Along the way, she encounters a young, intelligent would-be documentary filmmaker, Pete Sheppard (Jack Lemmon), who watches her rise to the top as a billboard superstar, and wonders how long she will manage to stay there. Gladys is also persued by a manipulative young tycoon, Evan Adams III (Peter Lawford), with less than wholesome intentions. This movie has wonderful humor and a soulfulness quite absent from the movies of today. What you come to learn from watching this wonderful story is how irreplaceable the brilliant Judy Holliday is, and you will definitely enjoy watching her play off of the wonderful cast! This was Jack Lemmon's film debut, and you can tell from the minute he steps on screen that this man was going to go places as an actor. His presence is indeniable. Everyone needs to see this! |
