Peter Sellers plays self-centered concert pianist Henry Orient. While Henry's active libido sends him off on pursuit of married woman Paula Prentiss, a pair of preteen boarding-school chums worship Orient from afar. The girls' overworked imaginations, manifested in pursuing Orient about and recording their fantasies in their diaries, leads Walker's mom (Angela Lansbury) to conclude that Henry has "had his way" with her underaged daughter.

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.

A mischievous, adventuresome 14-year-old girl and her best friend begin following an eccentric concert pianist around New York City after she develops a schoolgirl crush on him.
