The Women is a 1939 comedy film directed by George Cukor. The film was based on Clare Boothe Luce's play of the same name, and was adapted for the screen by Anita Loos and Jane Murfin, who toned down the innuendo for a movie audience. One of the great successes of its day, the film starred Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell, Paulette Goddard, Joan Fontaine, Lucile Watson, Mary Boland, Marjorie Main, Virginia Grey, Phyllis Povah, Ruth Hussey, Virginia Weidler, Butterfly McQueen, and Hedda Hopper. The film continued the play's all-female tradition - the entire cast of more than 130 speaking roles was female. Set in the glamorous Manhattan apartments of high society evoked by Cedric Gibbons, and in Reno where they obtain their divorces, it presents an acidic commentary on the pampered lives and power struggles of various rich, bored wives and the other women that they come into contact with. Throughout the film, not a single male is seen — although the males are much talked about, and the central theme is the women's relationships with them. The attention to detail was such that even in props such as portraits only female figures are represented, and several animals which appeared as pets were also female. The only exception is a poster-drawing clearly of a bull in the fashion show segment.

Filmed in black and white, it originally included a ten-minute fashion parade filmed in Technicolor, which featured Adrian's most outré designs; often cut in modern screenings, it has been restored by Turner Classic Movies.

The film proved to be a great success, both commercially and critically, and although it received no Academy Award nominations, many critics now describe it as one of the major films of what was a stellar year in Hollywood film production.

It was remade as a 1956 musical comedy, The Opposite Sex, starring June Allyson.

According to the June 15 2007 issue of Entertainment Weekly, a contemporary remake by Diane English, in development for thirteen years, will start filming in August 2007 with Meg Ryan, Eva Mendes, and Annette Bening. Debra Messing, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Candice Bergen, Bette Midler and Carrie Fisher play in other roles in the movie.

In 2007, The Women was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

The Women is 2008 American comedy film written and directed by Diane English. It is an updated adaptation of the 1939 George Cukor film of the same name, which was based on the 1936 play by Clare Boothe Luce. In the original film, most of the characters were Manhattan socialites whose primary interest was idle gossip. In the 2008 version, several are working in the fields of fashion design and publishing, and the character of Alex Fisher is openly lesbian .

The film, which was produced by Victoria Pearman and Mick Jagger of Jagged Films, Bill Johnson of Inferno Productions, and English, is being released by Picturehouse, a joint venture of HBO and New Line Cinema.
