JJ200 Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 I posted this a few weeks ago on this forum and 125 people have looked at the thread and so far no replies. I just wanted it up at the front of the queue for a few more days in hopes of attracting attention. This website is great. When I was a teenage I was so out of place because I liked old movies. Now I see there are a lot more people like me. In about 1973 I saw on television the end of a movie that I think was made in the 1940's or earlier (can't be sure about the date it was made but I know it had to have been made years before I saw it). Two women in fancy dresses are arguing. One is plain and one is pretty. I think they had on hats. Plain woman: "I am going to give you three chances to tell...you don't love him. One." Pretty woman: "No." Plain woman: "Two." Pretty woman: "No." Plain woman: "Three." Pretty woman: "No." The pretty woman then slaps the plain woman in the face who slaps her back harder. The pretty woman bursts into tears and the plain woman drags the pretty woman away to tell whomsever it was the truth, that she didn't love him. The pretty woman is weeping as she is dragged away. Any idea what that movie was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larislw Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Sounds like it might be Goerge Cukor's circa 1938 classic The Women with Moira Shearer and Joan Crawford. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackBurley Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Um, that was Norma Shearer. Moira was the beautiful dancing star of Powell/Pressburger's The Red Shoes and Tales of Hoffman... I don't recognize the scene described, but it's not from Cukor's 1939 The Women. I'll be interested to know what it is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
