When Gregg goes over the rail, she has both shoes on, even though there was a close-up before and after of her shoe stuck in the grate.
A huge palm tree is visible during a company picnic supposedly set on an estate near New York City - a botanical impossibility.
When Caroline is in Mike's apartment the New York City skyline is seen in the background.
However, it is clear this is a backdrop and only two lights are seen to flicker throughout the whole skyline.
All women in this movie are pretty and stupid (all they seem to do is falling in love with the wrong men). All men are handsome and stupid (and bastards except for Mr.
20th Century Fox had the Greatest Star in movies under contract by the name of Marilyn Monroe. 20th only got the fabled MM in 2 movies after she returned from strike: Bus Stop which she fabulous and Let's Make Love where she had a fling with co star Yves Montand.
Overlong soap opera with a nice cast. It chronicles the lives of three working girls.
I was a cameraman at ABC in 1970 and worked all of the episodes of "The Best of Everything." All the professionals attached to the show not only liked it but respected it which was unusual for the crew of a soap.
A hugely enjoyable screen version of Rona Jaffe's best-selling pot-boiler about the trials and tribulations, (and, naturally, the loves), of a group of women involved in one way or another in the New York publishing business. Directed by Jean Negulesco, fairly fresh from the success of "Three Coins in a Fountain", and the prototype for the likes of "Sex and the City", except that here the sex all takes place off-screen.
This is a film that is far more enjoyable than its rating of 7 would suggest. In many ways, it's like a 50s version of VALLEY OF THE DOLLS--with much of the excesses and sleaziness of VALLEY polished up a bit for the audiences of 1959.
The acting is very good and Hope Lange is excellent. Diane Baker, Suzy Parker and Joan Crawford give good support.
Jean Negulesco was something of a poor man's Michael Curtiz inasmuch as both were European immmigrants who could turn their hand to virtually any genre and both had strong associations with one studio in particular, Curtiz at Warners Negulesco at Fox, both were prolific and no one was surprised if sometimes they appeared to make the same film more than once. Negulesco shot Three Coins In The Fountain, a lush semi-travelogue chronicling the love lives of three females in Rome.
Although Rona Jaffe's original novel has recently seen a revival of interest since it was name-checked in 'Mad Men', the glossy, good-looking film in CinemaScope and DeLuxe Color Jerry Wald made of it tends still to be overlooked.Made when the word 'pregnant' could be used but abortion was still 'an operation', the men - with the dishonourable exception of Robert Evans in his final film as an actor and Brian Aherne as a bottom-pincher - are a pretty bland bunch.
