Review of Phffft

Phffft (1954)
8/10
The case of Judy Holliday and Jack Lemmon saved by a whoooshing bed.
4 March 2019
Judy Holliday and Jack Lemmon proved such an irresistible couple in "Gladys Glover", that another film with them was made the same year. It has its hilarious moments of great fun, especially their first restaurant scene after the divorce, but it lacks the sparkling originality of "Gladys Glover". Kim Novak compensates somewhat for what you lack, her contribution is vital, but on the whole it's no more than a rather casual and superficial comedy, worth seeing of course most of all for Judy Holliday, but the script is not enough to satisfy the interest of the audience the whole way.
