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.
