Rich and Famous (1981) www.imdb.com/title/tt0082992/?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_2 is George Cukor's swan song.
It's not exactly like The Philadelphia Story (1940).
It sure ain't anything like Little Women (1933)
Maybe it is closer to The Women (1939) or A Bill of Divorcement (1932).
This just gives you a feeling for how many sexual mores Cukor movies span.

kijii, I don't know if you know, but this is a re-do of the Bette Davis/Miriam Hopkins film, Old Aquaintance (1943). I haven't seen it since it was released, but I remember liking it a lot better than most critics did.

Spider--
No, I didn't realize that this was a remake, but now that I know it, I think I will go back and watch Old Aquaintance (1943) again with the former still fresh in my mind.
One thing I forgot to mention was that in Rich and Famous, Meg Ryan makes her film debut as Candice Bergen's teenage daughter. And, Bergen's husband looked SO familiar to me, and I couldn't understand why. (I kept thinking wasn't he on a TV soap opera or something?).
I was right--David Selby played Jane Wyman's lawyer (Richard Channing) on TV's Falcon Crest.
