The Women

Clare Booth Luce's celebrated play receives a sterling treatment from director George Cukor and an all-star (and all-female) cast. Soap opera and screwball comedy collide as Mary Haines (Norma Shearer) finds her marriage in trouble when shopgirl Crystal Allen (Joan Crawford) gets friendly with her man, while scandal maven Sylvia Fowler (Rosalind Russell) spreads the word. Features a fashion show sequence shot in color. With Joan Fontaine, Paulette Goddard, Mary Boland, Marjorie Main. 133 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English, French, Spanish.
