The Group (1966)
Country: US
Technical: col 152m
Director: Sidney Lumet
Cast: Joanna Pettet, Candice Bergen, Jessica Walter, Joan Hackett, Elizabeth Hartman, Shirley Knight
Synopsis:
A set of female friends graduate from College and go their separate ways. They will meet once more as a group, sharing their varied treatment at the hands of life.
Review:
Lumet's first colour film is the sixties equivalent of one of those Hollywood ensemble pieces, but with two key differences: its adult themes and a cast of unknowns who would make up the next generation of talented actresses stateside. It's a finely made film, in which performances and direction work together to deliver a measured and affecting drama.
