It Should Happen To You (1954 George Cukor)

Headstrong Judy Holliday (fabulous) bumps into documentary maker Jack Lemmon in Central Park in Garson Kanin's wonderful romantic comedy and satire on American business. She basically becomes famous for doing nothing - hmm... seem to have heard of that elsewhere more recently. Many great moments, lots of location filming in Manhattan - their Upper West side apartment block sure looks similar to The Apartment's setting.

Charles Lang and Frederick Hollander also worked together on Sabrina the same year.

With Peter Lawford, Michael O'Shea, Vaughn Taylor, Whit Bissell (The Time Tunnel).



There was certainly something special about Judy Holliday.

Columbus Circle, for those interested, is a roundabout on the bottom west corner of Central Park.
