Title: Stellar cast and crew, superbly biting script
Product review: My mother first shared this classic with me when I was about thirteen. We have continued to revisit it over the years, with each viewing resonating more and more. Norma Shearer is perfect as the film's straight woman, Joan Crawford is at her catty best, and Rosalind Russell indisputably steals the show. Paulette Goddard's helpless Miriam is a delight. Marjorie Main is a gem as the unabashedly upfront Lucy, and Mary Boland stretches her melodramatic muscles as the over-the-top Countess DeLave. Virginia Weidler and Ruth Hussey, both familiar from The Philadelphia Story, also put in great performances. And Adrian outdoes himself for the film's fashion show, designing some of the most hilarious and beautiful clothing I've ever seen. Amazing direction, production, and performances, as well as the genius of Clare Boothe Luce's stage play as a basis for the script, ensure that you will keep coming back for more.
