The Women 8x10 photo 1939

The Women is a 1939 American comedy-drama film directed by George Cukor. The film is based on Clare Boothe Luce's play of the same name. 

This version was distinctive for the fact that there were no men in the film, even the babies who appeared were little girls. It's said that animals in the film were female even books shown on the shelves were by female authors.

There's a knock-out cast including, aside from the three shown above, Joan Fontaine, Paulette Goddard, Ruth Hussey, Mary Boland, Lucile Watson, Marjorie Main and Butterfly McQueen.

It was remade as a 1956 musical comedy, The Opposite Sex, starring June Allyson, Joan Collins and Ann Miller.
 
In 2008, Diane English created her own version with the same original title, writing and directing. Stars included Meg Ryan, Eva Mendes, Annette Bening, Jada Pinkett Smith, Bette Midler and Debra Messing. This was English's feature film directorial debut.

As a side note, as with many films of this era much of the set design is interesting and impressive.The Women has one of the most extravagant bathrooms and bathtubs in film; for those of you who like that kind of thing.


In 1972, Rosalind Russell received the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, a special Academy Award. She was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar four times in her career.
