favorite movie #7: the women


Favorite movies that have had an impact on me - #7 - The Women (1939) - The snappy dialogue (written by Clare Booth Luce, from her play), and Anita Loos never quits. The first time I watched this classic film I didn’t realize until it was over that there were no men in the cast, as they were made such real characters by the women’s conversations. And the color fashion sequence! And the jewelry! It’s all too, too, fun.

Mary Haines (Norma Shearer): I've had two years to grow claws, mother. Jungle red!

Crystal Allen (Joan Crawford): There's a name for you ladies, but it isn't used in high society... outside of a kennel.
