Adrian: The Women (1939)
Pretty Clever Films Posted by Christina Stewart on Aug 28, 2013
The Women is a film all about men and fashion. There isn’t a man in sight, but the fashion is a feast for the eyes! It was adapted by screenwriting veterans Anita Loos and Jane Murfin, from the play by Clare Boothe Luce. The film has over 130 female roles, but the main players are Norma Shearer, Jo read more
Stolen Bravery, or, the women of the silent era don’t get nearly enough respect and why that needs to change
Movies Silently Posted by Movies, Silently on Jul 10, 2013
Most people think of this when they hear about silent movies. Never mind that this is from the talkie version of The Perils of Pauline, which was made nearly two decades after the silent era ended. (vidplanet.me) It makes me angry when people reduce the women of silent film down to the image of a d read more

The first member of the July 5 is Joan Crawford, so let’s kick things off with a look at one of her best remembered films. I’ve had The Women recorded for a while; it was on my TCM Top Twelve in June. After finally watching it I’m left puzzled. It’s good, but it doesn̵ read more

Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Nov 9, 2012
I’ve had The Women recorded for a while; more specifically it was on my TCM Top Twelve in June. After finally watching it I’m left puzzled. It’s good, but it doesn’t withstand the test of time in my opinion. The eponymous women are all fairly despicable, with the exception read more
The Women Of Hammer Films: Caroline Munro
All Good Things Posted by monty on Oct 27, 2012
Caroline Munro....words won't be able to say enough about this fascinating lass. Born in Windsor, England in 1949, she attended art school in Brighton. In 1965 one of her fellow students took her photograph and entered them in a modeling contest. Out of 700 entries submitted, hers was cho read more

The Women (1939): 5/5!
Let me begin by saying that this film has an AMAZING cast, which is what attracted me to it in the first place. Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell, Norma Shearer, Paulette Goddard, Joan Fontaine… it doesn’t get much better.

As Mulheres / The Women (1939) Muito mais do que uma suntuosa reunião do melhor do elenco feminino da MGM na década de 1930, tal filme é um verdadeiro campo de batalha em que essas talentosas mulheres se engalfinham. Em um all-star movie apenas com intérpretes do chamado “sexo frágil̶ read more

FASHION IN FILM BLOGATHON: Influences of Schiaparelli in “The Women” (1939)
Backlots Posted by Lara on Sep 24, 2011
First off, let me extend a big thanks to Angela over at The Hollywood Review for hosting this excellent blogathon! Film fashion holds a special fascination for me, and I have a real soft spot for any film in which fashion is a key element. As such, it was a real task to try to come up with what read more
Feminist Fridays: The Women of The Maltese Falcon
True Classics Posted by Brandie on Sep 9, 2011
Chapter Three of Dashiell Hammett’s The Maltese Falcon is titled, appropriately enough, “Three Women.” It opens with Sam Spade chastising his exhausted secretary, Effie Perine, for allowing Iva Archer, his dead partner’s widow, into the office. Spade is impatient with the wom read more
MOVIE REVIEW: The Women
Backlots Posted by Lara on Aug 19, 2011
This quick-witted, fast-paced, sassy and fabulous movie is, in my opinion, one of the best movies of that stellar year 1939. Starring two of the reigning queens of MGM, Norma Shearer and Joan Crawford, and directed by George Cukor, the film is comprised of over 130 speaking parts, runs at a whoppi read more
The Women
MacGuffin Movies Posted by RBuccicone on Jun 28, 2011
The Women (1939) It is possible that never a film so remarkably cast or flush with estrogen has been presented to audiences as 1939′s The Women. Based on a play of the same name and remade many times over the years, the story of a slew of gossiping, man-stealing society dames is probably read more
