Prior to the film's premiere, the producers held a special presentation of the film for Wellesley alumnae who had graduated in 1954. However, this publicity stunt back-fired when the graduates ridiculed the film as historically inaccurate. Among the many complaints voiced by the graduates: No one wore pearls, earrings or girdles to classes. Instead, students wore jeans and sweatshirts. No instructor ever encouraged them to marry or to be submissive. In fact, students were renowned for knitting in class and having food-fights in the corridors.
