Editorial Review:

Description:
Be careful what you say in private. It could become a movie. Some gossip overheard by Clare Boothe Luce in a nightclub powder room inspired her Broadway hit that's wittily adapted for the screen in The Women. George Cukor directs an all-female cast in this catty tale of battling and bonding that paints its claws Jungle Red and shreds the excesses of pampered Park Avenue princesses. Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell, Joan Fontaine, Mary Boland and Paulette Goddard are among the array of husband snatchers, snitches and lovelorn ladies.

Amazon.com essential video:
George Cukor, Hollywood's legendary 'woman's director,' had his hands full with the all-female cast of this 1939 film adaptation of the Clare Boothe play. The story finds a group of catty, competitive friends destroying reputations at social gatherings. The dialogue sparkles, Joan Crawford's performance as a husband stealer is still a classic, the film looks wonderful in Cukor's hands, and the Technicolor fashion-show scene is a one-of-a-kind Hollywood experience. --Tom Keogh

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Just like TCM
I saw this on TCM and bought it that day. It came in the correct packaging, on time in new condition. Excellent.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The original "Chick Flick"
Hysterical, insightful, classic - a great movie to watch for a girls' night out/get together, along the lines of "Sex in the City" from the 1940's.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Great Film
"Remember, it is being together at the end that matters."
~ "Mrs. Moorehead" in Clare Booth Luce's "The Women"

"The Women," one of the many spectacular films of 1939, explores love, marriage and divorce from the strictly female point of view. Not a single male character is shown in the film, nor in the play by Clare Booth Luce, upon which the movie was based, although the conversation constantly swirls around the husbands and boyfriends of the protagonists. While the women involved are wealthy socialites, many of their follies, sins and heartbreaks are those which pervade the lives of the female sex in every time and place. The ease of securing a divorce, however, is an issue confronting modern people; Mrs. Luce dissects with slow, brilliant cruelty the pain and devastation that goes with breaking up a family. No matter how cordial and legally effortless the parting of ways can be, it is almost ... Read More
