The Girl Most Likely To (1973) Part 5

Ugly duckling Miriam Knight (Stockard Channing) is constantly teased about her appearance. After a horrible car accident, she awakens in hospital to discover herself transformed into a beautiful woman. With a new lease on life, Miriam vows to take revenge on her past tormentors, one by one.

Hot on her trail is Detective Ralph Varone (Ed Asner), determined to catch her red-handed.

Written by Joan Rivers, this cult classic black comedy is an amusing, yet quite accurate portrayal of the superficiality of beauty standards in Western society. This film was one of Stockard Channing's first appearances on screen and would become part of her long and versatile career.

It's funny how your perception changes when watching this movie as an adult as opposed to a child. As a child, I was only able to see this story as a young woman getting even with her tormentors, but as an adult I am now able to see the comedic aspects of the story as well. Stockhard Channing is terrific. Thanks for posting this movie.

This is probably in the top ten for best and most remembered of the ABC 'Movie of the Week' titles! I know it's still MY favorite revenge fantasy movie, and I'm 50 years old now.

[DaveWollenberg]

I wonder if it was Miriam's character, or, Stockard, herself, who preferred to pronounce, 'either', as 'eye'ther. IDK!
