Women on the verge. Nov 10, 2009 A delightful romp in the world of high-society dames, circa 1939. Norma Schearer, Rosalind Russell, and a young Joan Crawford head the all-female cast in this sophisticated George Cukor classic. Sharp one-liners, campy dialogue, and witty interplay make this a comedy unlike any other of its time. Without a single four-letter word, this film manages to be intelligently bitchy and wonderfully fun.
The Women Sep 28, 2009 This is a great movie. It's just another example of the original being so much more superior than the remake.
A movie worthy of the description "classic" Sep 12, 2009 A must-have for anyone who loves well-made movies. The dialogue is fast and funny, the acting is superb, and the story is as relevant and believable today as it was when the movie was made in 1939.
One notable part of the film is the tension between Mary (played by Norma Shearer) and Crystal (played by Joan Crawford) over Crystal's affair with Mary's husband. Off-screen Shearer and Crawford disliked each other so intensely that the movie's producer's had some difficulty keeping the film on track. I believe that conflict contributes to their believable onscreen performance.
Another fascinating aspect of the movie is the fact that while most of the conversations in the movie concern men, not a single man actually appears in the film. It's hard to imagine modern film makers, with their over-reliance on special effects, using such a clever twist.

Poor Quality Aug 20, 2009 I expected a DVD without defect. Unfortunately, the DVD I received had several glitches that spoiled overall enjoyment. I will not order from this company again.
