Editorial Reviews

Shortly before shedding her snakeskin vamp persona for good by wrapping herself in the ermine confines of Nora Charles, Myrna Loy terrified and terrorized as the murderous mesmerist Ursula Georgi in the pre-Code horror show Thirteen Women. Following a racist sorority's cruel rebuff, half-caste Ursula embarks on a blood-thirsty trail of deceit and murder until only one woman (Irene Dunne) is left to face her. Aside from the allure and interest of its two leading ladies - each on the cusp of their ascension into cinema legend - Thirteen Women's delights are rather more diabolical and devastating than the more domestic concerns of a traditional "Women's Picture." From its breathless and terrifying (and arrestingly staged) opening aerial atrocity through its stabbings, suicides and hidden bombs, Thirteen Women's relentless pace startles and astonishes, ever driven by Loy's portrayal of Ursula's unalloyed and unapologetic evil.

Warner Archives has just released the elusive DVD transfer of 1932's "13 Women". Ursula Georgi is an East-Indian half-caste, scarred by her taunting white sorority sisters, who all lived together at a private school north of San Francisco. The years have passed, and Georgi has teamed with bogus Swami Yogadachi(her lover, who she soon murders). Georgi sends round-robin letters; astrology forecasts warning all 13 of her class-mates that sudden death is next on their agenda. Georgi threatens them, and their families, and then uses poison, bombs, hypnotism, and auto-suggestion to carry out her plans. A spell-binding performance, Myrna Loy is icy and chilling as Georgi, a dark vamp who uses sex to trap her lovers into completing her strategies. Irene Dunne plays Laura Stanhope, a sorority girl, now married with a young son. Warm family sequences with mother and son are played against Loy's arcane devil-plotting in her secret lair. The cast also has Ricardo Cortez, C, Henry Gordon, and Leon Ames(his scenes were deleted). A former silent-film director, George Archainbaud builds eerie suspense with long, shadowy scenes, some with no sound at all. A brief, forceful soundtrack is by the great Max Steiner. RKO Pictures and producer David O. Selznick were jarred by the movie's middle slow pace, cutting 15 minutes of footage we will never see(The film lasts only 59 minutes). "13 Women" was considered a failure at the time. Peg Entwistle, who played Hazel Cousins, committed suicide the day the movie was released. She climbed to the top of the Hollywood sign, then spelled "Hollywoodland", and jumped off the top of the "H". The same year, 1932, Selznick produced the now classic "Most Dangerous Game" at RKO....

4.0 out of 5 stars Early Loy February 2, 2013

If you love the Thin Man, you need to see Ms Loy as something less than noble and nice. You will love hating her

4.0 out of 5 stars good old movie August 22, 2012
Format:DVD
Myrna Loy play's a woman of mixed blood who goes to college with women who treat her really bad so she desided to get even. She has special powers & can look someone in the eye & make them do what she tells them to do. She goes after these women & one after the other they die. One of the last women she goes after is Irene Dunne & she targets her little boy. It really gets you going near the end. It's another wonderful old movie with two great stars in it.
