Full Plot Details

With her unofficial fiancé Eddie Harris studying in England for a year, Radcliffe educated Caroline Bender decides to get her first ever job as a secretary at Manhattan located Fabian Publishing, which offers its employees "the best of everything". There, she finds her story is somewhat similar to all the other secretaries, who are biding their time in the secretarial pool either before getting married - to a current or future beau - or moving on to their dream job. In the latter category is aspiring actress Gregg Adams, who with fellow secretary, the naive and inexperienced April Morrison, become Caroline's new roommates. Caroline also finds that as a secretary to the editors, she has to learn the special needs and foibles of each. They include the "witch" Amanda Farrow whose demanding exterior masks a truly lonely woman, the aging Lothario Fred Shalimar, and the understanding Mike Rice, whose best friend is a bottle of booze. The path to true happiness for each of Caroline, Gregg and April has its bumps along the way. After an incident in her personal life as well as one at work, Caroline's life plans change to thoughts of being one of the editors. Both Amanda and Mike hope that Caroline doesn't get this wish, each hoping for a different reason.

Movie Reviews

Las Vegas Review-Journal - 9/10 by Carol ClingClassic Fox '50s soaper ... campy and fun.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzIt all seems trite and overly melodramatic.
Creative Loafing - 8/10 by Matt BrunsonThe Best of Everything earned Oscar nominations for Best Original Song (the title tune, warbled by Johnny Mathis) and Best Color Costume Design, though the real achievement is the splendiferous Cinemascope lensing by William C. Mellor.
User Review - 10/10 by Hilary DThis is the BEST movie EVER!!! The entire cast did a fantastic job, esp. Stephen Boyd and Hope Lange. The book by Rona Jaffe and the movie are amazing and a must for anyone.
User Review - 10/10 by Ashley HThe Best of Everything is an excellent film. It is about the lives and loves of Madison Avenue working girls and their higher ups. Joan Crawford and Hope Lange give amazing performances. The screenplay is well written. Jean Negulesco did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the drama and romance. The Best of Everything is a must see.
User Review - 10/10 by Annette COne of my absolute favorites! The acting is great, costumes and sets are visually stunning and stylish, and yes, the problems that the girls in the movie face are still relevant today. Some great lines, as well.
