The Solid Gold Cadillac (1956 Richard Quine)

Warmly acted (by Judy Holliday and Paul Douglas) expansion of play (George Kaufman and Howard Teichmann) by Abe Burrows, with amusing scene-setting voiceover by George Burns. Able support from 'rotten to the core' Board led by John Williams and Fred Clark, with Ray Collins and Arthur O'Connell.

Peanut butter and smoked salmon sandwiches.... hmm.

Amusing pot-shots at corporate mis-governance are still just as relevant today. Shot by Charles Lang for Columbia (of course). Most enjoyable, with memorable Technicolor ending.
