Girls of Summer (by N. Richard Nash) concerns five people in Manhattan who inhabit or run in and out of a bohemian garden apartment. There is a mixed-up woman of 30 (Shelley Winters), her mixed-up 18-year-old sister, a mixed-up male teacher of ballet, the sister's mixed-up young hipster admirer, and a brash, cocky intruder who drives a Jaguar, sneers at art, and gets involved with both sisters.

...woman voter, I, and I'm sure millions like me, think of the "family group" that will inhabit the White House. Looking at photographs of the various families, I, at least, return to Mamie and Ike. Those Stevenson boys with their toothy smiles are altogether too Ivy-Leaguish, and the aunt, I'm afraid, would be terribly officious.
