Classic Movie: "The Women", Wednesday, May 14

The Women (1939)
Not rated (2 hrs., 18 mins.)

Be careful what you say in private. It could become a movie. Some gossip overheard by Clare Boothe Luce in a nightclub powder room inspired her Broadway hit that's wittily adapted for the screen in The Women. George Cukor directs an all-female cast in this catty tale of battling and bonding that paints its claws Jungle Red and shreds the excesses of pampered Park Avenue princesses. Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell, Joan Fontaine, Mary Boland and Paulette Goddard are among the array of husband snatchers, snitches and lovelorn ladies.

Admission is FREE. Popcorn and water are provided courtesy of the Friends of the Lane Memorial Library.
