The Women

The Women (1939) is George Cukor's Hollywood comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM, starring Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, and Rosalind Russell. Based on Clare Boothe Luce's 1936 Broadway play, it features a cast made up entirely of women — no man appears on screen, not once.

Mary Haines has money, a Manhattan life, and a husband she trusts completely. Then a manicurist lets something slip about a shop girl named Crystal, and the gossip machine runs on its own from there. Cukor stages the whole thing — the back-room whispers, the Reno divorce ranch, the department store counter — as a precise, gleeful anatomy of how women with too much time and too little honesty wage war.
