This 1966 film follows the path of 8 college girls who had graduated from a Vassar-like institution. It had to be an affluent piece since women attending college circa 1933, in the midst of an economic depression, had to come from rich families.
What's wrong with the film is that some of the topics discussed are not the greatest of topics to be brought about on film.
Elizabeth Hartman portrays a troubled young lady which probably mirrored her life. Her breast-feeding of her new-born son is compared by her Republican husband in a way that states that while she should be left alone to pursue this, FDR's programs should go by the waste-side and leave the economy to improve itself.
The other topics include lesbianism, a very unsuccessful marriage leading to tragedy, and how a quite young woman, working in a hospital, came to meet her husband, a doctor there. Her father's mental illness is almost comical here.
