Something for Everyone offers something for everyone, but more for gays than anyone else.

True to form, the truly subversive aspect of Something for Everyone is also its most alluring...

What flaws the film has are more than made up for by its acting, especially that of Angela Lansbury.

Bitterly funny, occasionally brilliant and always compelling, Something for Everyone deserves to be better remembered than it is.

The plot of "Saltburn" owes more than a little to "Something for Everyone." Angela Lansbury and Michael York are terrific, and his character's wickedness is delicious.

I saw this back in 1971. All I really remember was that it was clever, entertaining, and original. I want to see it again.

A one-of-a-kind black comedy/drama with Angela Lansbury dripping ennui amid gorgeous cinematography. The supporting cast is uniformly wonderful. An undervalued camp classic.
