Yeah, but I'm still mad Gloria Swanson did not win an Academy Award for Sunset Blvd. and it went to Holiday. Who was wonderful as Billie, no question. Of course, this was a year very RICH in worthy perfs, like Bette Davis and Anne Baxter in All About Eve, as well. Damn, who was the fifth nominee? I can't remember!
Back to Born Yesterday, I adore William Holden in this film.
Alex is pure evil.
