I love this awesome 1939 film based off of the Clare Boothe Luce play of the same name. This excellent film stars Norma Shearer and Joan Crawford who must compete for one man's attention. Another great thing about this movie is that it shows just how catty some women can be. Although this movie discusses such topics as marriage, infidelity, and divorce, not ONE man is seen in this film. I think it's brilliant and absolutely funny!
Plot summary from www.imdb.com :
If Mary Haines can pretend ignorance of her husband's affair with Crystal Allen, who sells perfume at a department store, she has a good chance of saving her marriage. But has she no pride? The women in her circle of friends soon have her packing for Reno. On the train, Mary meets the Countess DeLave, trading in her fourth husband and exclaiming "l'amour, l'amour." Everyone is staying at the same dude ranch outside Reno that is run by a no-nonsense woman. The woman who is about to marry the husband of Mary's cousin Sylvia, who first spread the gossip about Mary's husband's affair, tells Mary to forget her pride and the divorce.
