Watch When Ladies Meet For Free

the audience applauded

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Hey, I like both versions of this film. Not into parsing them either. The assembled talent, story, parts, clothes, set. This is the kind of movie I like to watch multiple times. First, watch the movie through. Then, maybe follow separate characters through. There's a lot going on. Then, watch the clothes. Then, check out the house, furniture, etc. There was so much style put into these. All of these elements are what made these 30's and 40's films so special. I don't understand why all the comparisons and nitpicking. This film has a lot to enjoy. It's entertainment, folks. If you don't find something so, leave it alone. Simple enough.

Why, when a character is supposed to be educated, they cannot use proper grammar. Given that one of the women is a writer and her "beau" , a publisher. Perhaps they should have corrected Rich lady, Bridget. She refers to another woman as "she" , when it should be "her". In the beginning of the film she tells Jimmy & Mary, " I had lunch with Laura Mills and now believe it about "she" and Phil" No, not "she", you insipid, laughing hyena! It would be " her" and Phil." Leave Phil out of the sentence. " I believe it about her" Would you say, " I believe it about she." We have a noted author and this was a play? Aren't there people who just look for errors as they film. I do not find this woman remotely entertaining, as this silly, nervous laughing is annoying. She doesn't utter a sentence without this giggle punctuating it. I fail to see why it was remade for that matter. I love the old movies, but when I see or hear this, it ruins it for me. An aside: Wonder why , oh why, did those in charge not put Myrna Loy's eyebrows where God intended. Every movie she's in, the obvious brow bone is distracting, emphasizing just how poorly those drawn-on brows suit her ( or anyone, for that matter.)

1933 comedy isn't too creaky, despite its age. Droll adaptation (the first of two) of Rachel Crothers' play about a female writer who has penned a fictional account of an affair she had with a married man, later unknowingly befriending the jilted wife at a dinner party. Some very tart lines and smart performances by Ann Harding, Myrna Loy and Frank Morgan, but the direction (reportedly troubled) is somewhat sluggish. Robert Montgomery is an acting casualty, and the 85-minute film takes a good 45 minutes to warm up. Later remade in 1941 with Joan Crawford, and perhaps was the starting point for Allan Burns and Mary Tyler Moore's "Just Between Friends". ** from ****

What a thought provoking and stimulating movie. One begins to sense what was lost due restriction of the Hays Commission. The svelte Ann Harding steels the show. She literally makes you fall in love with her character. Frank Morgan's role was very different from those that he later played. The sincere caring that the two female characters had for one another shows a sophistication that is as entrancing as it is admirable.
