The Best of Everything

Why do I love this movie?  Perhaps it is because it draws my attention to how far women in the workplace have come. I can't imagine how it was to be a working woman in the 1950s (or earlier!).  The theme of chauvinism is secondary only to the overarching theme of sexual harassment.
Still, I've seen this movie a handful of times.  I love the outfits and the music.  The theme song is sung by my favorite, Johnny Mathis. This movie features Joan Crawford and a very young Hope Lange.  Young, educated women with hopes and dreams face the harsh realities of working in an office and searching for Mr. Right.
