    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Director Mark Robson had a very combative relationship with all his actresses, particularly singling out Sharon Tate for his harsh treatment. Patty Duke hated working with him, and years later, after his death, still called him "a mean son of a bitch".
    • Goofs
      When Neely is tap dancing on the table, shown by her shadow on the wall, the shadow does not reflect a pony tail, but when she jumps down, she has a pony tail.
    • Quotes

      Neely O'Hara: Boobies, boobies, boobies. Nothin' but boobies! Who needs 'em? I did great without 'em.

    The best of its kind

    This movie is the greatest example of 'camp' that Hollywood ever produced. It is hysterical, stupid and lame, but you cannot take your eyes off the screen for a second. The casting is questionable (Patty Duke cannot sing, Parkins cannot do drama and I cannot badmouth Tate, but...), but the greatest legacy is Susan Hayward as Helen Lawson, the biggest bitch in the world. No one spits out a swear word or an insult like Hayward!
