Editorial Review:
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
This scorching comedy finds Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell, Joan Fontaine and Paulette Goddard fighting with no-holds-barred cattiness for their own (and each other's) husbands and lovers.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - 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: - The Women
The copy I purchased of the DVD version of The Women perfectly met my expectations. I received it promptly and was just what I ordered.
Rating: - 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.

"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 ... Read More
Rating: - Joan Crawford is a stone cold beyotch in this one!
This movie rocks! The cast was stellar. The idea of gossip and its consequences is a great theme for a movie/play. Joan Crawford, although her part was small, played it to the hilt. The parting comment after the final showdown was a "Oh no, she didn't just say that!" momement. Rosalind Russell as a nasty woman, yet with a lot of physical comedy was excellent. I thought that fact that they didn't show the husbands was one of the best techniques ever.
