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

Funny, Witty - Great Movie! November 20, 2008
I have watched this movie many times. I am very intrigued by the acting and how it different it compares to today's acting, the runway show, the styles, everything. Although, I'm pretty sure if my hubby cheated on me, we'd be done...otherwise, this is a movie right? I loved it!
Incredible Classic November 19, 2008
If you need a good laugh and a good cry this is one of those movie classics to enjoy. It's a heart warming film that will leave you inspired to grow your nails jungle red!
Fantastic November 16, 2008
The best, you cant compare this to the new version.
THIS is the version to go with.
Its old, but its still the best, and funniest version.
Pure Classic.
 Quite the Experience November 10, 2008
We watched this movie in a group of ladies on a ladies weekend. The younger crowd (under 30) found the movie espeically delightful - not of their usual genre. They loved the over dramatized dialogue and intrigues. The older audience enjoyed revisiting a clasic. The all female cast was handled superbly - you didn't even realize there weren't any men in the production. The only draw back was that the dialogue is very fast and you have to listen carefully.
title November 1, 2008
delivery was surprisingly fast and movie in good condition. this version is, undoubtedly, much more entertaining than the recent re-make of the movie.
