This is Dean Martin's crowning achievement. He did well with "Some Came Running" and "Rio Bravo" but his interaction with Judy Holliday was beyond praise. I know I run the risk of overstating, he is so richly human here, he is like a Renoir character.

Judy Holliday's best(and sadly last) film and Vincente Minnelli's greatest musical.
