The film is an expose of the lives and loves of a Manhattan career woman and her publishing-house colleagues who have affairs with married men. The women fall prey to their conniving, insensitive men and are seemingly taken advantage of the entire film.
Based on Rona Jaffe's trashy best-seller, this glossy Fox melodrama has an all-star cast, with Crawford as castrating boss and four appealing actresses: Hope Lange, Suzy parker, Diane Baker, and Martha Hyer.
The Best of Everything earned Oscar nominations for Best Original Song (the title tune, warbled by Johnny Mathis) and Best Color Costume Design, though the real achievement is the splendiferous Cinemascope lensing by William C. Mellor.
