THE WOMEN
Joan Crawford, Norma Shearer, Paulette Goddard
Turner/MGM; Directed by George Cukor
Black and White; Not Rated; 134 minutes; 1939
A brilliant all-female cast sparks this adaptation of Clare Booth Luce's stinging comedy about divorce and female friendship. Subtly sniping, THE WOMEN progresses from harmless gossip to vicious verbal backstabbing.
