Talk about a bitter divorce!

I just posted this in the "Movie Reviews by the Gimp" thread, but it bears repeating. Rent (or buy) this movie. Its hard to find, but worth it. I have a copy if need be...

...have time on your hands, find "The Women" with Joan Crawford. Get out your brightest red nail polish and enjoy 3 hours of side splitting, "back stabbing" catty humor of a bunch of women going to Reno for quickie divorces back in the day. 100% female cast. Black & white with a 15 minutes full color Fashion Show right in the middle of the movie. Too funny. Lots of great lines and quotes in this movie. My favorites - "Honey, the grass don't grow where she spits!" and the phrase "Jungle Red!"

Enjoy!

this movie sounds like a good one. is it easy to find?

I bought it a couple of years ago on line, and it took several weeks to come in, as it was back ordered, but even if you could rent it anywhere, that would be great. It's truly a classic. Here's how it reads on the back "Be careful what you say in private...It could become a movie. Some gossip overheard by Clare Boothe Luce in a nightclub powder room inspired her Broadway hit that's wittily adapted for the screen in The Women.....an all-female cast in this catty tale of battling and bonding that paints its claws "Jungle Red" and shreds the excesses of pampered Park Avenue princesses. Joan Crawford, Rosilind Russel, Joan Fontaine, Mary Boland and Paulette Goddard are among the array of husband snatchers, snitches and lovelorn ladies. Norma Shearer is jilted Mary Haines, who ultimately learns to claw without ruining her manicure. All the glamming and slamming comes with a shimmery bauble: a fashion-show sequence in eye-popping Technicolor." Oh, and its only 133 minutes.
Great "divorce" movie. Camp classic!
