$175K in 1956 is about $2M today. #TheSolidGoldCadillac #TCMParty
I love Judy Holiday. #TheSolidGoldCadillac #TCMParty
Judy Holliday asking in shareholder meeting why the head of the company makes so much money ($175K). In a 1956 movie! #TheSolidGoldCadillac #TCMParty

Actor Paul Douglas, BOTD 1907
My dad (the honest exec) lived in Long Island as a teen and went to high school with the sons of organized crime figures. They always said, “If the WASPs did this stuff to make money, it would be legal.” #TheSolidGoldCadillac #tmparty
I loved everything about #TheSolidGoldCadillac, except the ending! After a whole movie battling corporate malfeasance and over-spending, I can’t believe Laura Partridge would accept a real, solid gold Cadillac from the stockholders! #tcmparty
Don’t forget narrow-minded, bigoted banker! #TheSolidGoldCadillac #tcmparty
That was cute…

Paul Douglas and Judy Holliday are fantastic together in #TheSolidGoldCadillac. Both actors have a deep reservoir of authenticity that makes them completely believable in the their roles, and wins you over. #tcmparty

Paul Douglas– and his eyebrows– romantic lead?

McKeever: That's a nasty thing. A young girl comes to Washington to try and get an innocent, honest businessman to do something unethical. To entice him with her wiles.
Partridge: My wiles? I didn't plan to use one single, solitary wile on you.

Nobody played the part of oily businessman, corrupt senator, or evil real estate developer better than Fred Clark. #TheSolidGoldCadillac #TCMParty
This is what a corporate takeover looks like. Or maybe what the Board of Twitter was like when Elon flashed billions of $$ in front of their faces. #TCMParty #TheSolidGoldCadillac
Maybe it’s the current state of things, but there’s something irresistible about a film where a woman uses her position as a small shareholder to bring a company to its knees. And speaking of irresistible, Judy Holliday 🤩🤩 #TCMParty #TheSolidGoldCadillac
#TheSolidGoldCadillac is absolutely true in this regard: Corporate leadership totally views non-majority shareholders as beneath its notice & worthless.
I just adore her…

First watch
Not much different than the Mafia. Except maybe the murdering part. 😉 #TheSolidGoldCadillac #TCMParty
I saw at a young age what it’s like to be an honest exec on a leadership team of crooks. It’s shaped my view of businesses ever since. #TheSolidGoldCadillac #tcmparty
More people should do this. In one of my past jobs was managing proxy statements at a brokerage age firm. Board members make too much $. No one questions it… EVER. #TheSolidGoldCadillac #TCMParty
Any night that includes Judy Holliday is a good night. #TCMParty #TheSolidGoldCadillac
