My Brilliant Career (1980)

Judy Davis is a young lady in a poor family who's not willing to be forced into the life set before her. What an interesting invention she is: she's unhappy with her plainness, yet uninterested in hooking a husband. She's got grand ambitions, but she's also got a heart and it can be broken.

Though the ending wasn't the one I wanted -- I was satisfied by the fact that it was the only true ending.

Loved this one.
