The Best of Everything

...a frustrating time capsule.

The picture is done in color by DeLuxe and features some fantastically chic attire worn beautifully by the many members of the cast.

The Best of Everything earned Oscar nominations for Best Original Song (the title tune, warbled by Johnny Mathis) and Best Color Costume Design, though the real achievement is the splendiferous Cinemascope lensing by William C. Mellor.

Classic Fox '50s soaper ... campy and fun.

Based on Rona Jaffe's trashy best-seller, this glossy Fox melodrama has an all-star cast, with Crawford as castrating boss and four appealing actresses: Hope Lange, Suzy parker, Diane Baker, and Martha Hyer.

It all seems trite and overly melodramatic.
