5.0 out of 5 stars Very sophisticated comedy, December 30, 1999

This review is from: Woman's World [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Fox lit up the screen with star power for this production. Fortunately, it has a script to match. Surprisingly suspenseful, the movie also has a large helping of chic comedy as three couples do what it takes to prove they are the right couple to fill the position of general manager for a prestigous auto manufacturer. Lauren Bacall is at her best sparring with workaholic husband Fred MacMurray and the calculating competitor Arlene Dahl. June Allyson and Cornel Wilde shine as the midwest couple a bit out of step with New York society. The plot may seem a bit dated when contrasted with the current state of business politics. Great fun just the same.

This review is from: Woman's World [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is an iconic film in so many aspects. We have the stelar cast, the awesome New York City panoramic shots preparing the stage for the moderm business storyline but also showing the best sightseeing side of the Big Apple, the fabulous music score and the clothes, aahhhh the clothes....
The four ladies are brilliant in their characterizations.
Charming movie! Please get the DVD out there. Who has only VHS nowadays??

4.0 out of 5 stars If You Liked "Three Coins" and "Three Wives"..., December 28, 2001

...you'll probably like "A Woman's World", because it is similar to those two movies.

Like "Three Coins in the Fountain", we have three sets of romances, although this time the folks are all already married: Lauren Bacall and Fred MacMurray, Van Heflin and Arlene Dahl, June Allyson and Cornel Wilde. All three men have been invited out to New York to be scrutinized by Clifton Webb, who is going to promote one of these guys to the Number Two position at the auto company he runs. Along the way, folks fall in and out of love all over again while trying to figure out whether or not they really want this job in exciting New York after all. It would mean changes to your life, you know!

Like "A Letter to Three Wives", we have a suspenseful climax: Who is going to get the big job after all? And the movie has a twist to the ending, just like "Three Wives". Unlike "Three Wives", we get to see about an equal amount of each couple, so we can get to like/dislike either or both partners. In "Three Wives", the husband of Jeanne Crain is not in it enough to make an impression.

Of course, seeing my fav, Clifton Webb, is always a joy, though I wish he could have been in even more of the movie! The Bacall/MacMurray sequences are the best, as is the storyline of that bit; I found June Allyson's character overdone. Still and all, a good entrant to the Lush Life movie set.

Enter into this World--it'll transport you for more than a little while.
