Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJoan Crawford, recently elected to the board of directors of Pepsi after the death of her husband who had been President and CEO of the company, managed to swing a brief quasi product plug for the soft drink by having an unmistakable Pepsi machine (with the red, white, and blue Pepsi logo, but sans the word "Pepsi") installed in the secretaries' on-screen break room.
- GoofsIn the scene when Diane Baker tells Hope Lange "he's ten foot tall to me" while walking down the street, several people... two men and two young boys... look into the camera, smiling (they were obviously filming with a camera hidden in a car during these scenes as those people weren't extras).

Featured review
If there's one thing this film does well, its capturing the appeal and allure of New York City. This is a fun time-capsule of a film from this period and it beautifully captures some truly iconic images of midtown Manhattan, and a couple other shots of the city. The beautifully stylized representation of office life, the cloths and apartments of NYC explains why these girls along with millions of others like them dreamed of coming to New York City to achieve their dreams - be it a dream job as a successful executive or a rich husband. As for the story itself, it is a bit cliched and is filled with some stereotypes. Despite some issues I think this film is great fun and worth checking out.
