The Women
A lot of laundering had to be done to Clare Boothe Luce’s 1936 all-female play to satisfy the Hollywood production code, but the result was considered an improvement. This all-star MGM catfight is one of the gems of that fabled movie year 1939. A 1956 musical remake, The Opposite Sex, added men to the cast, but the updated 2008 remake took them back out again.
