Trivia
This movie was broadcast by ABC and televised on Election Night 1973. In New York City, this movie was broadcast on ABC affiliate channel 7. When Miriam was planning to "do away" with one of her rivals, this movie was temporarily interrupted for election results. Those New York City viewers who could also pick up ABC affiliate channel 8 from New Haven, Connecticut, where there was no interruption, could "fast-forward" and see Miriam pushing that rival out of an airplane. As the movie resumed in its entirety on channel 7, viewers could relive the entire "airplane" scene, if they chose to. See more »Quotes

This is one of my favorite dark comedy films--light-hearted, beautifully wicked and sometimes poignant. The plot is somewhat thin, but Stockard Channing is perfect in the lead and she makes it believable. Her transformation from Ugly Duckling to evil Swan is wonderful and sexy as is her wicked delight in bringing justice to those who caused her pain as her former self. The film is subtly satiric and delivers a climax with a twist. Lots of supporting cast members that are future "B" stars in their own right.
