FULL OF LIFE Series: Judy Holliday: The Smart Dumb Blonde [Aug 25 – 31 2006] Director: Richard Quine, Country: USA, Release: 1956, Runtime: 91 New 35mm print This little-known film written by cult author Joe Fante based on his own novel is something of a find. Part breezy comedy, part serious drama, with disturbing but emotionally compelling mood swings, it tells the story of an Italian American suburban couple played by Judy Holliday and Richard Conte, who are trying to make ends meet while awaiting the birth of their first child. When their house turns out to be termite ridden, Judy enlists the help of her temperamental papa-in-law, played by 50s Italian opera star Salvatore Baccaloni, as a modest builder with the ego of a Frank Lloyd Wright. Baccaloni has his own ideas about everything from construction to religion. Judy is having a tough pregnancy and Conte is just trying to cope. By turns heartwarming and hilarious, this is another example of Holliday’s skill as an actress. Preceded by a sketch with Barbara Baxley, Janet Blair and Judy as baseball players’ wives in the stands at a game.
