Trailer & Synopsis
Without a single male character, this 1939 gem sparked a screen genre: New York ladies who lunch. Based on a successful stage play, the film waltzes from boudoir to bathroom to beauty parlour following the gossip and backstabbing of affluent Manhattanites.
‘But the very fact of excluding men from the action feels radical – and it is performed with brilliant wit and a terrific physical comedy.’ – The Guardian
