Back to Born Yesterday, I adore William Holden in this film.

Alex is pure evil.

What a great year for awesome parts for women!
Well, Anne split the vote between her and Davis by not taking a supporting nom instead. Bad move on her part. OR the vote may have been split between Swanson and Davis. Interesting.
