THE SOLID GOLD CADILLAC
(Columbia) G Cert. RICHARD QUINE’S film version of The Solid Gold Cadillac has the same "flaws" as the stage production the New Zealand Players gave us last year, so it seems I could have gone looking for something that was never meant to be there. There’s again less bite than I hoped to find in what looks like a subject for satire; and again in the board of directors of International Projects there’s a great doorstep of ham sandwich. But with those reservations made, how can I complain about a film that made me laugh so much? The story is about the efforts of Laura Partridge (Judy Holliday), a small shareholder, on behalf of the other small shareholders who are being taken for a ride by the boatd which is in control now that Ed McKeever (Paul Douglas) has a big job in Washington. For Miss Holliday especially this is another triumph. She is given some good lines and some funny situations-but could anyone else have made so much of them?
