Perhaps nobody's ever heard of this one, but I came across it in my Roddy McDowall days (what other high school girl would have Roddy McDowall days? ) and it's pretty bizarre.
Stars Roddy McDowall and Tuesday Weld as two high school graduates set to start out life and are especially underwhelmed by what life has in store for them. Barbara Ann (Weld) is especially depressed by it all and after buying a cashmere sweater and seeing how differently people treat her decides she must do anything she can to become one of the rich, popular people (or at least seem that way). "Mollymauk" (McDowall) runs around the film as her muse, confidant and quacker and the film takes an odder twist when Barbara Ann decides she's unhappy in her marriage and must off her husband.
It's a black comedy with a lot of underlying messages completely lost on me not being from that time period. It has a rad theme song too. Gotta love 60s films with theme songs of the movie title.
I could see Miller digging this one. :up:
