This film sucked. Basic idea is good - All About Eve in world of woman's fashion. Plenty of clothes and Jack Cardiff colour photography. Crap script which fails to dramatise and create differentiated charaters. The stars aren't up to it - Jane Hylton dull, and Muriel Pavlow. The men aren't better - Ian Hunter, Terence Morgan.
Thing is they had Kay Kendall in the film! In a minor role! Ditto Dana Wynter!
Director Compton Bennett does a bad job. This is the sort of movie Ted Black would've knocked out of the park.
Problems - bad pacing, inadequate stars, confusing story. No sex, no decent romance, no delienated stars.
