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
gloriously trashy
All the cliches rolled together, and then some, as we watch three secretaries through their tangled work and love lives in a New York publishing house. Some of the script is risible and the whole idea is so dated, but after a while you just feel yourself pulled into it. Its over-the-top, its trash, it tries so hard to get every subplot possible that might shock in without actually shocking anyone (this is the clean-cut 50s after all). Doesn't give a marvellous message to young singletons, but for those who like their screen romance sticky-sweet and covered with marshmallows, this is the one for you. Everyone does a good job despite the trash involved, and this remains a slight but very entertaining film.
