Talk Classic To Me

The Women (1939)


Listen Later

Have you ever had the thought "I just wish there was a movie from the 1930's that was written by women, featured only women, displayed excellent physical comedy performed by women, but was entirely about men and was kind of misogynistic"? Then the film The Women (1939) is for you! Check out the duality of Clare Boothe Luce's hit that manages to be both feminist and sexist at the same time (just like the real life playwright herself) and revel in the spot-on comedic performances from Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell, and Paulette Goddard. If it doesn't make you want to "sharpen your claws" and paint them "jungle red"...we're all okay with that. Host, Sara Greenfield and her guests, Zoe Palko and Brianne Wilson chat about all this and more on this week's episode of Talk Classic To Me.
