It's all about men! 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.

Still an all time favorite. Even if it is dated this film still means a lot for women in film and for the times. It's also just a real joy to watch because of the interesting gossiping storyline it plays with. Lively yet has a lot of verbal information. However if you don't like a lot of talking, you will not like this film haha.

Finally!!!!! This has been on my wishlist for ages and now I can finally own a copy and watch this great movie over and over while repeating the lines and imitating the characters. My all time favorite movie.

So happy to have found this movie!!! Has been my fave for 25 yrs!!! Finally I can watch it when I want not just the limited showings on TCM!
