DVD Reviews of The Women (Keepcase)

DVD Review: a classic in every sense of the word
Summary: 5 Stars

My mother introduced me to this film when I was a grown woman myself. We sat there in her living room reveling in this wholly woman's experience. This is not a "chick-flick." It's a fully-realized expresssion of women's lives and circumstances. And what a revelation that, back then, a film was made without so much as a man's voice! Amazing.

DVD Review: This Took Me Totally By Surprise
Summary: 5 Stars

I came across this on a classic film channel and quickly became enthralled. This is a comedy in the true sense: it simply portrays the human condition exactly as it is and the irony and humor emerge orgnaically. I loved the acting, storyline, and the fact that not one man appears in this film. It's really great fun and will always deserve 5 stars.

DVD Review: The Women
Summary: 4 Stars

Good story, Excellent comedy, good mixture of actresses, Liked the fact
that one never see's Stephen the husband. Black & White for the most part, would like to see the whole picture in colour. All in all a good production.

DVD Review: The Women - Can't beat 'em so join 'em!
Summary: 4 Stars

The 2008 version of this movie with the same title just doesn't hold a candle to The Women (1939). Joan Crawford and Rosalind Russell are fabulous. Once you get past the scene where they're in the beauty shop and everyone is talking at the same time and volume (LOUD), it gets better. Everyone talks very fast in this movie, so you will want subtitles on in order to catch what they're saying. It is definitely an education to see how women's roles and views have changed in 70 years.

DVD Review: Excellent!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

What is there to say you have Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell and a cast of many fine actors in a funny, whitty movie about relationships and the ups and downs of marriage, divorce and remarriage. Highly recommend this to everyone who loves the classics and just seeing a great cast of actors shine.

Description of The Women (Keepcase)

Be careful what you say in private. It could become a movie. Some gossip overheard by Clare Boothe Luce in a nightclub powder room inspired her Broadway hit that's wittily adapted for the screen in The Women. George Cukor directs an all-female cast in this catty tale of battling and bonding that paints its claws Jungle Red and shreds the excesses of pampered Park Avenue princesses. Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell, Joan Fontaine, Mary Boland and Paulette Goddard are among the array of husband snatchers, snitches and lovelorn ladies.

George Cukor, Hollywood's legendary "woman's director," had his hands full with the all-female cast of this 1939 film adaptation of the Clare Boothe play. The story finds a group of catty, competitive friends destroying reputations at social gatherings. The dialogue sparkles, Joan Crawford's performance as a husband stealer is still a classic, the film looks wonderful in Cukor's hands, and the Technicolor fashion-show scene is a one-of-a-kind Hollywood experience. --Tom Keogh
