George Cukor directs an all-female cast in this catty tale about battling and bonding between friends and enemies that was edgy for its time -- and is considered the ultimate women's movie of the 1930s. Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell and other Hollywood leading ladies are among the array of husband-snatchers, snitches and lovelorn ladies who argue and gossip about each other at astonishing breakneck speed.



Rated NR 2 hours 12 minutes 1939

1.5 stars (Dale-1, David-2) Lots of dahlings and divines spoken at top speed do not make a witty movie. This was a tedious parade of female caricatures and lots of catty and unflattering talk!
