Lakey: There was another game that Kay insisted on playing: the Truth Game. Everyone was to make a list of their friends, in order of preference, and then compare the lists. What Kay never stopped to think about was that somebody always had to be at the bottom of every list. And when that somebody cried, Kay was honestly surprised. more

It's the second time I saw it and it improved immensely. The first time gave a muddled impression and it was difficult to understand what it was about. Now I was swept away by it and felt for the girls.
What great performances by these actresses! Kathleen Widdoes, Jessica Walter and Shirley Knight came off best. Joanna Pettet was very good in her unsympathetic part. Candice Bergen was excellent in her small part. It was her very first movie role and she was barely twenty! There was too little of Joan Hackett, Elizabeth Hartman and Mary-Robin Redd. Larry Hagman is a very underrated actor. It's a shame the film isn't more well known. It does NOT need a remake!
