A social comedy about a beauty pageant for young Californian women, held annually in Santa Rosa, and how it affects the locals and participants.
With an impossibly young Melanie Griffith and Annette O'Toole. Pauline Kael liked it a lot, as I recall.

"Now I'd like you to think about a 17-year-old kid… who came to me when I was staging dances for the Mike Curb Congregation. She hadn't had a bit of experience, but she wanted to try so bad that we just had to let her. That was four years ago, and now that girl is one of the Mike Curb lead dancers... Now, that may not seem like much to you ladies, but that girl… has a wooden foot. Now go out there and dance with your two good feet!"
