5.0 out of 5 stars The women - all about men - jungle red fingernails - a timeless movie, 18 Jul 2008
By Klaus van Amelrode "kmcva" - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: The Women [DVD] [1939] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
The Women is a 1939 comedy film directed by George Cukor. The film was based on Clare Boothe Luce's play of the same name One of the great successes of its day, the film starred screen goddesses Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell, Paulette Goddard, Joan Fontaine, Lucile Watson, Mary Boland, Marjorie Main, Virginia Grey, Phyllis Povah, Florence Nash, Ruth Hussey, Virginia Weidler, Butterfly McQueen, and Hedda Hopper.

The film continued the play's all-female tradition - the entire cast of more than 130 speaking roles was female. Set in the glamorous Manhattan apartments of high society evoked by Cedric Gibbons, and in Reno where they obtain their divorces, it presents an acidic commentary on the pampered lives and power struggles of various rich, bored wives and the other women that they come into contact with. Throughout the film, not a single male is seen -- although the males are much talked about, and the central theme is the women's relationships with them.

It is Hollywood entertainment at its best: great performances by the best actresses of the day, funny, sad and sarcastic. It is one of the great classic which one can watch and enjoy today. A new remake it is be released this year showing the attraction the story still holds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absence of Men, 13 Jun 2007
By E. Mullin "women power" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Women [DVD] [1939] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
Although men centre greatly in this movie and the effect of their thoughtless behaviour is the core of the story line for all the female characters their absence makes this an outstanding aspect of the film. After you have watched the movie you could almost convience yourself that they were active on screen. However the strong acting and dialogue of the principle women leave no room or need for their presence. This is a girl power movie circa 1939. Nothing changes - essential viewing.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Crawfords best, 6 Jun 2009
This review is from: The Women [DVD] [1939] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
A highly recommended film, It's funny, bitchy and although Crawford only has a total of around 27 minutes she uses them to her advantage. Crystal (played by Crawford) is used to getting what she wants by manipulating situations which would usually make the audience dislike her character but instead you find yourself routing for Crystal by the end. Definately one of Crawfords best films.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sheer Class
This film is a perfect example of how Hollywood used to make great films. It is a classic that will most likely outlive the rather anodyne re-make of 2008. Read more
