if this be not my favorite movie of all time and it definitely be in the top five . i love this . everything about this be perfect the clothes and the set and the line yes and theyre not how normal people talk and but . right down to the small scene and especially at the beginning of the office girl change their shoe and pick a wedgie and water the office ivy plant and put lunch in the fridge . identical to what u office girl do today in the year 2005. i think all the minor character be wonderful . if someone like joan crawford be over the top and it all part of the package . if you pick out many thing in the movie and it be very evident that this be the beginning of the sixty a woman be start to not take it lie down and at least not if they do not want to . as far a character be contradictory and for instance and suzy parker character act like she all for fling and but then get too attach to louis jourdan character and isn not that what many people be like contradictory . they mix in real stuff with scene like diane baker character find the love of her life after miscarry her illegitimate baby in an accident lying in the hospital with a big old bandage around her head . this be part of the package too and it charm glossy escapism . i like the mix of real story pertinent today ( the stereotypical career woman who only have affair with married men and therefore doesn not have a family when she be old ) with one that make you wish and ah and if only i could fall in love with a doctor and he will love me even though he know my sordid past and and saw me all mess up after the scandalous accident . also and i just get the dvd and widescreen and it yet even more beautiful than full screen . yay .
