Liza almost ruined this film

There's no way someone with class would have been attracted to her. Hobson says he likes her at their first meeting - would'nt have happened.. Liza is way over the top and annoying. And not in the least bit attractive. Was she their first choice, because I can think of 20 other actresses that would have been better in that role. And I'm someone who really likes the film.

i'm not a big fan of her, and don't care for her in this. i think goldie Hawn would have been fantastic.

I wonder how Joyce DeWitt, Kate Jackson, or Lindsay Wagner would have been like in the role.

Hobson does not like her at their first meeting on the street after the tie theft. Linda says she likes him (before she gets in the car) despite Hobson making the bowling alley comment and other disparaging things about her. I think Hobson and Linda are flip sides of the same coin and that’s why Arthur likes her. And Minnelli is great in the role!
