Rating: - DVD please! I love both this movie and 'The Women'. Both are gorgeous to look at and entertaining besides. However, I wish that someone would either reissue this one on VHS (thereby making it so that normal people can buy it and not have to pay the inflated prices for used ones) or put it on DVD, which it deserves. AND if they could also, at the same time, make it widescreen. I so much hate full-screen versions of any movie. Rating: - DVD PLEASE! LOVE THIS STORY!!!! Please put it on DVD. Such catty fun, especially Joan Collins, in training for her future Dynasty role. Amazing cast and beautiful costumes, would love to wear one of those evening gowns! Rating: - All Pros After reading the Joan Blondell biography that came out last month I was anxious to see one of her films, so I put my hands flat on the TV screen and prayed, then switched on DVR and looked under "Guide" and lo and behold, THE OPPOSITE SEX was playing, and Robert Osborne foxy as ever was explaining to Turner audiences that MGM had originally planned this picture for Grace Kelly but instead she left the screen! I just can't picture her playing the part--not, at any rate, the part as written here. ... Read More Rating: - total bust The movie in 1939 was witty and funny with the novelty of an all female cast. In typical 1950s style, they had to add color, men in the cast and characters that didn't quite fit. It didn't have to mimic the original movie but it's long, the musical numbers are not enjoyable. It seemed suited to the tastes of the day but it had nothing to do with Claire Boothe Luce's play or movie. Check out The Women instead. see more
