"The Women:" hysterical comedy from the 40s, obviously an adapted play
Posted by tinear on April 26, 2009 at 18:35:04:
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 risqué 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.
