I haven’t seen The Women (1939) yet, the film that starred Norma Shearer and Joan Crawford. But its remake The Women (2008) starring the likes of Meg Ryan. Annette Benning, Debra Messing, Jada Pinkett-Smith and Eva Mendes, I was able to view recently on Sky Movies. It’s pretty hollow flick. Men in nature shouldn’t be polygamous. They just shouldn’t. Both The Women films have no male characters appearing on the screen, although their failures and peccadilloes are mostly the main topic in the discussions and repartee. It’s also quite unthinkable for Joan Crawford as a saleslady behind the counter waiting for a man to drape her in jewellery. I always picture her as a toughie and independent. As for Eva Mendes as the mistress and a cosmetics salesgirl, well. Meg Ryan shouldn’t had those facial surgeries that made her a shadow of her former It Girl glory.
