About This Movie

It Should Happen to You is a delightful blend of comedy and romance, directed by George Cukor with a light touch. Judy Holliday shines as Gladys Glover, a character that’s both charming and determined. The film plays out with a whimsical pace, merging Gladys's ambitions with Pete's (Jack Lemmon) infatuation - there's a genuine chemistry that's fun to watch. The practical effects of the giant billboard are memorable and serve as an interesting commentary on fame and identity. The film captures the spirit of the 50s while exploring themes of aspiration and love in a way that feels refreshingly direct. There’s a certain warmth in the performances; it’s hard not to appreciate the earnestness of the characters.
