"The Women:" hysterical comedy from the 40s, obviously an adapted play

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

and the brilliant, cutting dialogue, must have been a smash on Broadway.
Norma Shearer, Joan Fontaine, Rosalind Russell, Joan Crawford---- four A-list stars in this witty, ridiculously fast-paced (the pace of the dialogue would make a rapper's head spin) comedy about infidelity among the upper NY classes.
Shearer's husband has had his head turned by a vampish Crawford and soon divorce is in the air, as well as blood in the water.
Sensational, never-bested dialogue, terrific period costumes, one brilliant color passage of a very risquÃ© fashion show, and an enormously talented young actress playing the daughter of the divorced parents.
Your wife will love you for this---- at least until the ending.

There a small detail you forgot to include: while the whole play spins around marriage, no man is ever... - orejones 10:55:33 04/28/09 (2)

Yes, I noticed the lack of men. It's not uncommon in "manly" action films - tinear 12:51:18 04/28/09 (1)
