    Group, The (1966)

    Based on Mary McCarthy’s best-selling novel of the same title, this film traces the lives of a group of women friends through the beginning of World War II.

    It was really little more than a high-class soap opera, but a lot of fun to watch thanks to the lively and skilful cast. Joan Hackett turned in a particularly fine performance as Dottie, the prim and not too proper Bostonian girl.

    At the very least, the film introduced moviegoers to a whole bevvy of charming actresses, many of them subsequently to earn full Hollywood stardom.
