it should happen to you

January 30 movie: It Should Happen to You. Jack Lemmon's first movie! It was a vehicle for Judy Holliday, though Lemmon has a great part as her love interest. Really funny and sweet without being overly sentimental. Also stars Peter Lawford as a sleazy rich guy. His character made me kind of uncomfortable. In particular the scenes where he tries to force his way into Holliday's apartment were hard for me to watch. Like, if he had managed to get into the apartment he probably would have raped her. I think in the early 60s he would have been seen as an aggressive ladies man, but that's not how it came across to me. Of course he's just there to show Holliday that mild-mannered ordinary guy Jack Lemmon is a much better catch. Which he is!
