The women pay a heavy emotional price for their involvement with married men: one ends up pregnant and must make a difficult choice; another has a breakdown when she is jilted.

Despite their witty repartee, the editorial staff doesn't always secure the "best of everything" in their own lives. Joan Crawford is tailor-made as the steely boss unnerved by her affair with a married man, and cult fave, former model Suzy Parker adds a glossy sheen. Based on Rona Jaffe's novel.
