zemboy I can't believe how many good reviews this movie has gotten from other people. Anybody who enjoys this film MUST absolutely hate women in general and enjoy seeing them portrayed as mean-spirited scandal mongers. In my 75 years of life I have never seen as many rotten women as I see in this one movie.The only nice things about the movie are the child and her dog. Skip this unless unless you hate women.

MayPiazza The Women is fast paced with a lot of comedic wit. I believe the movie is the way it is because of director George Cukor, who puts his own stylistic spin on Clare Boote Luce's play of the same name. One way Cukor does this is by tying the behavior of each woman to their social status. The movie features phenomenal female leads whose on screen chemistry is incomparable to that of any other during that time. The film shows every side of woman as a sex from vicious to gentle and everything in between. Made during a time where color movies began to emerge, Cukor did implement a fashion show scene in color which made it so much more vibrant and beautiful.

Siliw It's a movie about women but not about woman's rights. The whole movie is made with black and white color but except the fashion show. I think there is no need for that only making the fashion show part with color. This colorful show doesn't have any specific meaning for this movie. It attracts my attention only because it is colorful. I think light setting in this movie is perfect! A lot of high lights directly polish the actress's face. Also these lights help to show the difference between different characters. Mary always looks nice and kind because the setting of lights for Mary is from her back. But Sylvia is the contrast of Mary, so light setting for her is sharp and harmful. And the clothes shows the subconscious for characters. Mary always wears skirts and home-style dress to imply that she likes her family and wants her husband back to her.

Superhanz If there is something I wasn't entirely pleased with in this title is the actual lengths director George Cukor went to to avoid showing any male figure whatsoever during its whole plus-two hour long duration. I'm pretty certain that was due to him perhaps striving to be compliant with the play's own take in the story but, if anything, this decision of his has only contributed to the "staged stage" feeling (let's call it that) there is to it. Thanks to that decision, which in my humble opinion, doesn't do the acetate media it is on any favors, I, a proud cinema lover, was left with many questions which only detracted from the whole film watching experience per se, such as: Is it a comedy or a drama? Are we supposed to laugh or to be compassionate about Mary's roller-coaster-like plight she unfortunately goes through? When are the heinous false friends' masks finally going to fall and will they ever get what they deserve? Therefore, my rating it with 3 and half stars.But in the end, some of the excellent performances given by the likes of Russell, Shearer and why not, the young Weidler (who plays Little Mary), kinda saved the day - even more so when one thinks about how NOT so awfully bad the title has aged. Though the lush technicolor sequence, as gorgeous as it was, didn't help it in that department, (not due to he wardrobe, mind you, but actually the sheer amount of time it was dedicated to it).
