Best movie ever!

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

This is very evocative of the type of shows offered in the mid 70's. A soap opera with all plot lines neatly tied up by the end of the movie. Everyone happy. This is interesting to see for the look into the fashions, the slang, the morals and the music of that period. -- Julie Newmar showing a belly button (I Dream of Jeannie wasn't allowed to show that part of the anatomy. -- a gay plot line that used the word "gay" and didn't hide it under euphemisms. -- Single women being the aggressor in sexual pursuit and openly saying they liked sex. -- bell bottoms -- dresses with high necklines and flowing skirts. -- culottes as part of business attire. -- adultery without someone being killed off.

I remember watching this when it originally aired, and then catching it over the years. It's really the quintessential 1970s TV movie, with swinging singles, adultery, homosexuality, suicide, and Julie Newmar doing an amazing kick-split. My sister and I discussed all the juicy details, none of which I will go into, lest I ruin the film for those who haven't seen it. In a way, I truly believed that this is what it would be like to be single and living on my own, and I couldn't wait until the day I could move into a singles' apartment complex. Sadly, singles' apartment complexes have gone the way of the world. If this film were available on DVD, I'd buy two copies!

I've actually seen this one too...but recently! This was on cable one night at about 3:00AM when I was up with my infant daughter.Not much plot here, just the daily lives of a group of people in an apartment building. Yes, there's lots of awful 70's home decor and clothing--probably why I watched. Hard to believe this was on late night cable, much less prime time network television!

I remember being 12 years old and deciding I wanted to watch an "adult" movie (no not THAT kind of adult movie). My recollection of it is hazy except to say nearly all of the movie occurs on the terraces of an apartment building and explores the lives and interactions of the tenants as they occur on the apartment terraces. I found it rich with human drama (remember I was 12 and thought Ricardo Montalban offered profound insights on Fantasy Island too) and remember Cat Woman (Julie Newmar) was in it. Nearly the only specific thing I can remember now was that it seemed there was a lot of decorating with avocado green (blech!) and women in pant suits and tilted, wide-brim hats (blech again). Someday I'd like to see it and really find out just what was going on but for now I'll just remember the always-wonderful Julie Newmar and the atrocious art design.
