Rona Jaffe's best-selling novel comes to life in this witty tale about the personal and professional lives of the men and women in a New York publishing firm. Heading a huge cast is Joan Crawford as a tough-talking editor who can't seem to win at love. There are a few more interesting stories around the office than there are in the manuscripts at Fabian Publishers. Among the principal players: a new secretary (Hope Lange) who quickly gets her boss's (Crawford) job and romances a handsome editor (Stephen Boyd); a Colorado secretary (Diane Baker) who falls for the wrong man (Robert Evans); and a would be actress (Suzy Parker) who's jilted by a two-timing director (Louis Jourdan). Slick and glossy, The Best Of Everything is a panorama of office politics before women's liberation.
