Flora Campbell

Eight women graduate from a prestigious college at the height of the Depression and set off on very different paths. Some hope to get married, others pursue careers and a few try to have it all, but nobody gets exactly what she wants. Based on Mary McCarthy's acclaimed novel, the film offers serious social commentary disguised as melodrama. Director Sidney Lumet's star-studded cast includes Candace Bergman, Joan Hackett and Hal Holbrook.
