Based on a play. Judie Holliday, under the tutelage of William Holden, learns about America's founding principles and learns that her abusive sugar daddy, Broderick Crawford, is a criminal. First 3/4ths are wonderful. Last 1/4th is a bit on the preachy/sappy side, but still 3.5 stars
Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
