This review of the magazine Mcalls STARTS off fine, detailing what kind of woman reads McCalls (you'd be surprised) and then the editor blabbers on to a secretary about what he wants to do with the magazine, and to top it all off, we'll have the artwork on the cover of this very famous artist.. (forgot her name). The filn tells us that Mcalls also features fiction,. When a dramatization, for a reason never fully explained, of one of their stories is shown. The story is somewhat ok, sort of like little women, where the women chat up about the men coming into their lives (love the male character). But, again, there is no point for this to take up half of the film (which it does) and then fade to black (ditto). Rather strange and pointless.
