In the eternal battle between the sexes, one side holds an overwhelming advantage: Armed with razor-sharp wit and wielding gossip as a weapon, victory can only go to THE WOMEN.Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, and Rosalind Russell enter the skirmish as Mary Haines, Crystal Allen, and Sylvia Fowler–whose battlegrounds are the beauty parlor and fashion-show runway. The engagement begins when Mary's husband takes up with shop girl Crystal, and scandalmonger Sylvia gives Mary advice that quickly results in divorce. But that is only the opening salvo in this cracklingly sharp, classic comedy.
The star-studded cast consists entirely of women. Based on the hit play by Clare Booth Luce. The film is in black-and-white, with a Technicolor fashion-show sequence.
Co-presented in-kind by WBUR!
