One would have a drinking problem, one would be an abused wife (interesting to see when there were no men shown), and as posted, one was a homosexual. Agewise they come up thusly: Damon was 49, Shelley Fabares was 35, Tina Louise was 45, Paula Prentiss was 40, Stella Stevens was 43 and Loretta Swit was 42. Only one of the sorority sisters could have done it, correct? Or could they know who did it? Assembling a television cast to be the sisters, I remember thinking Cathryn Damon of Soap was much too old for the other women. A baby's skeleton is found in the sorority house when it is torn down. An interesting idea, I'm sure it was provoked by Roe v. Didn't hurt the story at all, truthfully. At the beginning there may have been construction workers shown, and I don't recall about crowd scenes, I guess men would have to be shown, but none of the major cast members were men and no dialogue was spoken by men. It has been so long since I have seen this thing, but the deal was there were no men shown here. This movie is worth a shot if only to see if you can figure out "whodunit." Paula Prentiss steals all the scenes she's in in both movies and Tina Louise portrays similar characters in both movies. I wanted to see it again after recently viewing the original The Stepford Wives movie in which both Paula Prentiss and Tina Louise co-star with Katharine Ross. I have an old tape of this movie, taped from TV in the 80's. The plot seems like it could have been taken from this show or any other nighttime soap of that era. it shouldn't be taken too seriously and it's a "guilty pleasure" of sorts. Watching this movie is like watching "Dynasty". Oddly, none of these characters or the actresses portraying them are listed in the cast credits. The supporting characters are: Clarissa, Joan's maid who was the sorority housemother to all of the women in the mid-50's Layne Plowden, the woman who stole Martha's husband from her Livia, Sandy's daughter, and B.J.'s two daughters, who aren't given any first names. Sondra Locke, one of Clint Eastwood's many girlfriends, plays Jessie the reporter who is trying to determine which of the Sigma Beta Chi sorority sisters is the guilty party. Its six lead actresses are like a who's who from (mostly) the 70's era of films and TV comedies: Cathryn Damon ("Soap") is Martha Paula Prentiss (The Stepford Wives) is Sandy Shelley Fabares ("The Donna Reed Show"/"Coach") is Mary Alice Tina Louise ("Gilligan's Island") is Joan Stella Stevens (The Poseidon Adventure) is Edyth and Loretta Swit ("M*A*S*H") is B.J. Like other posters have mentioned, there are no men in any of the scenes of this movie. This is not an excellent movie, but it's not that bad and worth a view.
