Unique for it’s women-only cast—a gathering of some of the finest studio talent of the 1930s—George Cukor’s acid comedy about love and infidelity created a rare female view of the war between the sexes. A group of friends spirits society wife Mary Haines (Shearer) off to a dude ranch near Reno for divorce when they convince her that her husband’s affair with a shop girl (Crawford) must be avenged. Rosalind Russell delivers a wickedly comic performance as the confidente who gains sadistic pleasure from her friend’s misfortune.
