highly recommended

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.

Original is better

In this case, old is definitely better! I had seen this movie several times on TV, but had missed scenes that had been cut for commercials (i.e., fashion show in color, while the rest of the movie was in b&w). Although the new version of this movie is up-to-date in its views of women, the original was definitely more "catty." Also, the new version missed out on the triumphant face-to-face scene between the wife and the other woman at the end of the original. Finally, the scene in the new version, with Meg Ryan's character eating the stick of butter, contained a line that simply ruined the movie. I say that because the message of a woman being able to survive without a man was lost with that one line and no mother (Meg) would want her daughter to think that's what it takes to "keep" a man...

terrific service

I ordered a copy of The Women, the old movie made in the 1930's, and it arrived in just a few days. The price was good, as was the service. I have not yet viewed the movie, as I am waiting for my company to arrive the end of this month.I am certain it will be fine. I love this movie. A group of friends said the new version is terrible, so I am having them in to watch this next month, so they can enjoy this lovely old movie, too.
I was named after Norma Shearer, in 1930.
Thank you for your usual fine prompt service.

The Women

Great movie! I highly recommend renting it if you enjoy classics or if you are simply looking for a highly entertaining movie to watch. If you enjoyed the current release, you'll love the original version of "The Women" even better.

The original "The Women" surpasses remake

I am glad to have seen this version of "The Women," which arrived in excellent condition.

DVD: The Women (1939)

Excellent movie. It is a must see movie that was way ahead of its time. Although the movie is more than 65 years old, it has meaning today because it's about girlfriends. The all star cast includes Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell and no men. What a hoot!
