The Solid Gold Cadillac has some charm, and it's nice to see Judy Holliday onscreen with Paul Douglas, who was her costar in the Broadway production of Born Yesterday. The Solid Gold Cadillac seems to be in the same mould as It Happened to Jane where a simple, practical woman takes on big business. I hope it does not disappoint me similarly when I get around to watching it. Paul Douglas has grown on me in the last year after Panic in the Streets and Angels in the Outfield. There's a thematic similarity between the two, but that's as far as I'd take it. As an urban story, Cadillac's tone is one leaning more in the direction of smartness, sophistication and sly satire, all of which are more to my personal taste (for whatever that's worth), rejecting the broader aspects of Jane's characters and events. None of those "S" adjectives I used above should come as any surprise when considering that the play from which it was adapted was co-authored by George S. Kaufman.
