One of the top films of what is usually considered the Golden Age's greatest year of filmmaking (1939), The Women (Blu-Ray) has been announced by Warner Bros. with a May 6th street date.

Bonus features have not been confirmed, but are expected to be carried over from the standard release.


Be careful what you say in private. It could become a movie. Some gossip overheard by Clare Boothe Luce in a nightclub powder room inspired her Broadway hit that's wittily adapted for the screen in The Women.

George Cukor directs an all female cast in this catty tale of battling and bonding that paints its claws 'Jungle Red' and shreds the excesses of pampered Park Avenue princesses. Joan Crawford, Rosalind Rusell, Joan Fontaine, Mary Boland and Paulette Goddard are among the array of husband snatchers and lovelorn ladies. Norma Shearer is jilted Mary Haines, who ultimately learns to claw without ruining her manicure. All the glamming and slamming comes with a shimmery bauble: a fashion show sequence in eye-popping Technicolor.

• Romance Of Celluloid Documentaries: 'From the Ends of the Earth' and 'Hollywood: Style Center Of The World'
