- After graduating from a prestigious Eastern university, 8 devoted female friends go their separate ways: one leaves for Europe, while the others experience troubled relationships. Decades later they get to meet one last time.
- In June 1933, eight young women who are close friends and members of the upper-class group at South Tower College graduate and start their adult lives. The film documents the years between their graduation and the beginning of the Second World War in Europe, and shows, in a serialized style, their romances and marriages, their searches for careers or meaning in their lives, and their highs and lows.—Gary Dickerson <slug@mail.utexas.edu>
- The lives of an octet of friends who are seen as the aesthetes of the Vassar class of 1933 are presented from their graduation, when their lives held so much promise despite the Depression, to the start of WWII. Ambitious theater major Kay, somewhat the outsider of the group, decides to get married immediately and support her struggling playwright husband Harald by getting a job at Macy's than pursue her own theater directing career. Kay, who takes everything personally, needs to be in control, which becomes more difficult as problems emerge in the marriage and as world events occur around her. The only one who might be more ambitious is English major Libby, who wants a job in publishing and whose bravado hides her insecurities when she doesn't get what she wants. Her exact opposite is Dottie, an inexperienced proper Bostonian who might settle for second-best as she strives for what she really wants despite coming to the understanding that she is less than second-best. Chemistry major Polly, who wanted to be a doctor but becomes a medical technician, deals with people with real or perceived psychological problems, both at work and in her personal life. Politically-involved Priss knows that love and politics might not mesh, but doesn't like feeling like a science experiment as a replacement for love. Artist Helena, who plans to become a nursery-school teacher, is the communicator, who reports her friends goings-on to their former classmates. Wealthy Pokey can afford a life of leisure in marriage, for which she strives. And beautiful art-history major Lakey, who can get any man she wants, heads to Europe following graduation to further her art-history experience, but her trip might be as much to get away from her Vassar life and head for freedom.—Huggo
